Justice Aamer Farooq of IHC conducted hearing on the petition and subsequently reserved the verdict after listening arguments from both sides.
Deputy Attorney General Raja Khalid adopted the stance before bench that age limit for the post of chairman NADRA was 55 years while Usman Mubeen was 38 year old.
