A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar heard the case and NADRA and the Election Commission of Pakistan for their efforts to develop a voting system empowering overseas Pakistanis to vote in general elections.
Usman Mobin told the court that the matter to develop a software has been brought under discussion with the ECP and work is underway in this regard.

He instructed NADRA to furnish in court a progress report during the case's next hearing in a month's time.
