Islamabad, Pakistan – In a significant development, a petition related to declaring the date for Eid-al-Fitr moon sighting has been filed with the Islamabad High Court. The court has scheduled a hearing for the petition, which will be heard by Chief Justice Sardar Tariq Masood.
The petitioner, a citizen, has requested the court to direct the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee to declare the Eid-al-Fitr moon sighting date at the earliest.
