ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad police have urged the advocate general to challenge a recent Islamabad High Court (IHC) order that has virtually handicapped intelligence and law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes and monitor terrorist activities.
The court’s decision, which prohibits cellular companies from sharing citizens’ data with these agencies, was passed by Justice Babar Sattar. In compliance with the court’s directive, cellular companies have ceased sharing Call Detail Records with law enforcement agencies.
