LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday granted one-time permission to Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly and PMLN President Shahbaz Sharif to go abroad for treatment. Keeping in view the past conduct and travel history, the fact that name of the petitioner is not on the Exit Control List (ECL) at the moment, the name of the petitioner on the blacklist, if already placed, will not stop him from one-time visit to UK from May 8, 2021 to July 3, 2021 for his medical checkup as per his personal commitment made before this court, said the interim order issued by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi after reserving the verdict for two hours.

LAHORE: Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday approached the Lahore High Court challenging placement of his name on a travel blacklist/no-fly list and seeking one-time permission to go abroad for medical treatment.
In a petition, filed through advocates Azam Nazir Tarar and Amjad Pervez, the opposition leader, who is on bail in multiple references of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), contends that the government had previously placed him on the ECL. However, the LHC had suspended the government’s act, giving him one-time permission to travel to the United Kingdom for medical check-up in 2019.
Shehbaz states that he recently came to know that his name had been placed on the blacklist at the behest of the present regime. He says the authorities concerned refused to furnish the documents to him on the basis of which his name had been placed in the list.
