LHC allows Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad

F.P. Report

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has ordered to remove the name of leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif from the Exit Control List, on Tuesday.

According to details, last month Shehbaz Sharif had filed a petition in the Lahore High Court to order the removal of his name from the no-fly list.

During the proceeding, Shehbaz’s counsel told the court that the former CM Punjab had been appearing before the National Accountability Bureau in every inquiry and cooperating with the anti-corruption watchdog in every way.

On February 22, Shehbaz name was added to the ECL on February 22 in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing case, after he was arrested by the NAB in the probe on October 5, 2018. He was released on bail on February 14.

He had approached the Lahore High Court seeking declaration of the federal government’s decision to place his name on the no-fly list as null and void. In his petition, Shehbaz had contended that as the leader of the opposition as well as of one of the country’s largest political parties, his name should not be on the ECL.
