The Court emphasized the need for a structured approach, inviting public feedback on the draft policy. The Court reiterated previous orders regarding Hajj subsidy and the allocation of seats, ensuring compliance with established guidelines. The outcome was a comprehensive framework aimed at improving the Hajj process for pilgrims.
