Arshad Khan CNIC Restoration NADRA Update 2025
Arshad Khan CNIC restoration by NADRA was done after internal data verification as per court documents and NADRA verification report. It was presented in court that the citizenship board of NADRA had validated his records as genuine and the case was closed with his CNIC being unblocked. This ruling was given by Justice Jawad Hassan, at the Lahore High court bench in Rawalpindi.
Arshad Khan, the viral star in 2016 as the Chaiwala, filed a petition in 2025 earlier, after his CNIC and passport were blocked due to unsubstantiated allegations that he was not a Pakistani. His attorney explained that NADRA had mistakenly suspended his identity which affected his business and liberty to travel.
The court noted that the blocking of CNICs despite lack of due process is against the fundamental constitutional rights. The Arshad Khan CNIC restoration NADRA case led to its resolution after it was confirmed by NADRA. His CNIC is re-activated now and his Pakistan citizenship has been checked by NADRA completely.
