Pak national living in Goa since 2016 moves SC against notification on revoking visa

NEW DELHI: A Pakistani national residing in Goa since 2016 on a long-term visa on Thursday moved the Supreme Court in wake of the Centre's notification revoking the visas of Pakistani nationals after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

The apex court agreed to examine his plea.

A counsel, on behalf of the Pakistani national, mentioned the matter before a bench of Justices Sanjay Karol and Satish Chandra Sharma for urgent listing.

The counsel contended that this is a matter of a Pakistani national residing in Goa since 2016 on a long-term visa.

"After the Pahalgam attack, there is a notification issued by the Government of India," the counsel said.

The bench said, “You go back…”.

The counsel said the petitioner would go back but he may be heard as there was a specific condition in the long-term visa.

The bench was also informed that the petitioner was born in India. The bench asked the counsel, why his client did not move before the jurisdictional high court.

The counsel said the police have been visiting the petitioner.

Upon hearing submissions, the bench agreed to list the matter.

The dastardly April 22 attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir left 26 people, mostly tourists, dead. Later, a notification was issued by the central government revoking the visas granted to Pakistani nationals except for those mentioned in the communication and giving a specific timeline for their deportation.
