A bench of two judges on the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Mohammad Shafi Siddiqui and Justice Omar Sial, was deliberating over a series of petitions that were submitted in opposition to the February ban on X and the suspension of internet and mobile service.
Ahsan Imam Rizvi, a counsel for the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), told the bench at the beginning of the hearing that the notification to prohibit X had been “withdrawn.”
Abdul Moiz Jaferii, the petitioners’ attorney, claimed that access to the platform remained unattainable.
Web management system is utilized for “blocking,” the IT minister informs the legislature.
The lawyer was questioned by the bench on whether the withdrawal of the notification meant that access to X had been restricted.
