As the new Haj season draws nearer, the Supreme Court has again been approached by private tour operators challenging a Lahore High Court (LHC) order of declaring the Haj Policy 2014 illegal.
A two-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk and Justice Dost Mohammad Khan will hear a set of appeals moved by the federal government as well as the Haj Organisers Association of Pakistan (HOAP) from Monday.
Filed by SCBA President Kamran Murtaza, the HOAP’s application has challenged the July 15 order of the LHC in which the Haj Policy 2014 was declared to be illegal to the extent of grant of quota of 15,000 pilgrims to private Haj tour operators.
