SHC admits Musharraf’s petition, seeking to remove his name from ECL

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday issued notices to the government and the Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) over former president Musharraf’s application seeking removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL) and directed them to submit their replies on April 23.

Earlier in the day, Musharraf’s counsel Barrister Farogh Naseem had submitted the application on the former president’s behalf, challenging the order of the Interior Secretary pertaining to inclusion of his name on the ECL.

A two-member divisional bench of the SHC consisting of Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Khalid Hussain Bhatti immediately admitted the application for hearing.

Naseem presented his stance in the court and said that Musharraf wanted to travel overseas in order to visit his ailing mother upon which the court replied that it could not make a unilateral decision.

The court issued notices to the government and FIA and directed the federal interior secretary and Director General FIA to submit their replies before it on April 23.

Earlier on April 2, the government had rejected Musharraf’s application seeking removal of his name from the ECL.
