Shehbaz Sharif's plea seeking removal of his name from blacklist fixed for hearing

LAHORE (92 News) - The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday fixed PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif's plea seeking removal of his name from blacklist for hearing.

LHC Justice Ali Baqar Najaf will hear the petition tomorrow. Shehbaz Sharif has approached the LHC for removal of his name from the blacklist barring him from travelling abroad.

He moved a writ petition, citing the Ministry of Interior and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) as respondents.

In his petition, Shahbaz has stated that after getting bail in Ashiana Housing and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases, he went abroad and came back.

He submitted that he again wants to go abroad for treatment, but the federal government had put his name in the blacklist.

Shahbaz said that the act is a violation of fundamental rights.

On April 23, Shehbaz Sharif was released from Kot Lakhpat Jail after the Lahore High Court (LHC) approved his post-arrest bail in a money laundering case.
