ZIA MOHYUDDIN versus ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR (EMIGRATION) FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AGENCY AIRPORT, KARACHI
Section 2 Constitution of Pakistan (1973), Article 199 Constitutional Request by Pakistan Heart Watch Commission of Pakistan to seek higher education from abroad through the Pakistan Heart Education Commission of Pakistan, but once again for Ph.D. Went abroad but was arrested. At the airport because its name was included in a watch list developed by the Federal Investigation Agency. The Validati Watchlist was just a matter of pleasure for the Exit Control List, because in both cases the Federal Investigation Agency used its powers to ensure that no one was to leave the country in this case. Anyone on the watchlist or the Exit Control List has restricted the freedom of movement of citizens, so no one can be added to such a list unless he or she is given a show notice before a negative action is taken. And do not provide for a hearing. The name on the watchlist was done secretly because no notice was given to the applicant, his name was not included in the watchlist nor was he given any opportunity at the hearing to add him to the list. Such action by the authorities / Federal Investigation Agency, by default, was without the legal authority to load the applicant from the ship; there was no authority to take the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan or arrest the applicant and arrest him in Pakistan. Authorities have no legal option to initiate a repression or criminal proceeding by preventing them from leaving. Was not able to put the applicant on the watchlist and prevent him from going abroad.
