The petition named Pakistan Bureau of Statistics, NADRA chairman, federal government, and others as respondents in the case.

Speaking to the media, Kamal said that it was a conspiracy to destroy Pakistan by reducing Karachi's population. He said that the Chief Justice had said that he would not take a suo motu notice regarding this issue so he had filed a petition in the SC.
