Case Summary
Core Facts
The petitioner challenged the action of FIA officials who off-loaded him at Islamabad International Airport on 17.07.2026, preventing him from travelling abroad.
He argued that he had valid travel documents and that no written order or lawful reason for stopping him was communicated. He invoked Articles 4, 10-A and 15 of the Constitution.
The FIA, however, raised a preliminary objection of territorial jurisdiction, arguing that the entire impugned action occurred at Islamabad International Airport, outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Lahore High Court.
