The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) decided to scrap Rule 13-1 for gender reassignment.
A two-member bench of the Federal Sharia Court headed by Acting Chief Justice Syed Muhammad Anwar heard the petitions of Senator Mushtaq Ahmed Khan and others against the Transgender Act 2018.
The court was told that chairman NADRA had signed for the approval of the cancellation of Rule 13-1, after which it has been scrapped for a month, adding that approval from the next board meeting will also be sought within a month.
