LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday disposed of as withdrawn the petitions of Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif against the federal government for placing him on a blacklist and seeking implementation of a court order that gave him a one-time permission to go abroad for medical treatment.
Shehbaz had filed a civil miscellaneous application, saying he wanted to withdraw his pending petitions since his name had been placed in the exit control list (ECL). His counsel Amjad Pervez said the pendency of the petitions with regard to the blacklist would be of no use for the petitioner or the government. He said the petitioner intended to challenge the government decision of placing him on the ECL.
