ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday ordered removal of the name of former director general of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) retired Lt Gen Asad Durrani from the Exit Control List (ECL).

At the outset of the hearing, Justice Minallah asked Deputy Attorney General Syed Mohammad Tayyab as to why the name of the former ISI chief had been kept on the no-fly list.
