The Sindh High Court on Tuesday ordered the permanent removal of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Inam Memon’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
A case is pending against him for misusing his powers as Local Government Minister and buying a plot in Karachi Cantonment with ill-gotten gains.
In the hearing on Tuesday, Sharjeel Memon’s lawyer Ali Wahid took the stand that when Sharjeel applied for bail, the court put his name in the ECL. Since then, whenever he wants to go out of the country, he has to get permission.
Sharjeel Memon has been appearing in the court for every hearing so his name should be removed from the ECL, pleaded the lawyer.
On the other hand, the government and NAB also support the decision to remove Memon’s name from the list.
Later, the court ordered the authorities to remove Sharjeel’s name from the no-fly list.
