KARACHI / ISLAMABAD: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has ordered the removal of former president Pervez Musharraf’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL), Express News reported on Thursday.

However, the two-member bench of the SHC has suspended this order for around two weeks giving the federal government time to appeal against the decision before the Supreme Court.

The order will be enforced in 15 days in case the government fails to make an appeal by then.

“The court has allowed our appeal and ordered to strike down Musharraf’s name from the ECL. The order will be executed after 15 days,” AFP quoted Musharraf’s lawyer Farogh Naseem as saying.

On May 29, the SHC had reserved its verdict on Musharraf’s petition for striking his name off the ECL.

Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Salman Aslam Butt had said that there is apprehension that once the petitioner is allowed to leave the country, he would never return to face the high-treason trial.

The former president’s lawyer Farogh Nasim had challenged the move, calling it ‘patently presumptuous’.

Appeal rejected

Earlier in the day, a court in Islamabad dismissed Musharraf’s appeal for exemption from appearing in the Abdul Rashid Ghazi murder case, Express News reported.

The former president has been ordered to appear before the court on July 1.

Musharraf also faces treason charges for subverting and circumventing the Constitution by imposing emergency on November 3, 2007. The federal government had placed his name on the ECL, stating he might try to abscond.

Good now he can go back and we hope to never see him again, all this chaos he created what a shame. After all millions were being spent for his security, good riddance I must say.

When will the shameless Judiciary bring Nawaz Sharif in court for his attack on the Supreme Court and laundering millions of Pakistani money into UK and Saudi Arabia?
