LAHORE:The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday overruled its registrar office’s objections to a writ petition seeking a ban on a number of social media applications, including TikTok, Bigo Live and Likee.

Advocate Waqas Anwar Gujjar moved the petition, stating that the applications like TikTok, Bigo Live, Likee and others were becoming a source of waste of time for youngsters. Arraying Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the FIA as respondents in the case, he said that besides this, TikTok had claimed the lives of many youngsters.
