Sensitive data theft of Pakistanis, Court seeks progress report

The court was furious that the legislation on personal data protection had not been completed. Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar remarked that when he had to legislate for himself, he did it immediately. The federal and provincial governments legislate for their own benefit but the public is not being considered. The issue of personal data protection is very important and serious.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar inquired why no legislation had been passed so far on an issue of importance to the entire country. There are laws in other countries. What is the problem in Pakistan? The court quickly directed legislation from Personal Data Protection.

Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar while giving remarks said that if legislation is to be enacted regarding data protection then what is being delayed? It is in the interest of the country to make laws soon.
