LHC orders to remove Shehbaz Sharif’s name from ECL

LAHORE (DNA) – Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday has ordered to remove name of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif from Exit Control List (ECL).
During the hearing, Shehbaz’s counsel said that his client’s name was placed on ECL despite appearing before National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The court asked NAB about the assets beyond income case against the former Chief Minister of Punjab over which anti-corruption watchdog’s lawyer said that the inquiry was started on October 23 which some suspicious transactions from Sharif’s account were traced.
Meanwhile, Shehbaz’s lawyer said that NAB officials are making jokes with Sharif family as former PM Nawaz also came to Pakistan while leaving behind his ailing wife.
The interior ministry had issued notification regarding foreign travel ban on Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA). The cabinet had taken the decision on a request by the NAB, from whose custody Shahbaz was released on bail.
The NAB had arrested Shahbaz on October 5, 2018, in connection with the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme case. The PML-N president was released from sub-jail on February 15, a day after the Lahore High Court granted him bail in Ashiana-e-Iqbal and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases.
