The petition contended that a person who is ineligible to join the Parliament and, consequently, a federal minister, cannot be appointed by the prime minister as a special assistant and given the position of a state minister.

Later, Bukhari argued in front of the Supreme Court that he was a citizen of the UK by birth because he never acquired any other nationality.

He did not take any steps to earn his citizenship; it was given to him at birth. As a result, the responding respondent did not swear the pledge of loyalty.

Although the responding respondent was born in Britain, he willingly chose to become a Pakistani citizen and be subject to Pakistani law, according to the response provided by his attorney Chaudhry Aitzaz Ahsan in the lawsuit involving the appointment.
