LHC to hear Maryam Nawaz’s plea for removal of her name from ECL today

LAHORE (92 News) – A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) will hear Maryam Nawaz’s plea for removal of her name from the exit control list on Monday. On December 7, PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz had filed an application in the Lahore High Court, challenging the inclusion of her name on the exit control list (ECL). In the petition filed through Amjad Pervez advocate, she contended that she wanted to look after her ailing father who lies on her and want to visit abroad for six weeks. She prayed to court to return her passport. “I had returned to the country leaving behind her ailing mother despite her sentence in the Al-Azizia reference. I have been placed on the ECL without listening to my stance,” she stated. She said that the memorandum placing her name on the ECL is illegal and against verdict of apex court. “I have been appearing before courts for one and a half years. It is strange to include my name on the ECL,” she added. She said that the disease’s condition of Nawaz Sharif is indescribable. “The August 20 decision of placing her name on the ECL should be declared null and void.” The Interior Ministry, the FIA and the NAB chairman and DG have been made the parties in the petition.
