Lahore High Court rules CNIC cannot be blocked to enforce maintenance decree

The Lahore High Court ruled that blocking a citizen's CNIC to enforce a maintenance decree violates due process and lacks legal sanction. The court overturned a 2017 order directing Nadra to block Nasir Ali Ranjha's CNIC for non-payment of maintenance, citing that CNICs are indispensable for fundamental rights and daily life.
