LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) will hear the plea filed by Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz after over removing her name the Exit Control List (ECL) today.
A two-member bench of LHC, headed by Justice Ali Baqar Najafi, will hear the petition.
The petition filed by Maryam Nawaz last month stated that the court should direct the federal government to lift her name from the ECL so she could travel abroad to look after her ailing father.
However, her request was rejected by the federal cabinet meeting during its session conducted under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan that decided to keep the name of Maryam from the ECL.
Maryam’s family including her brothers and have already been staying in her London residence to look after her father Nawaz Sharif.
Nawaz Sharif has been staying in London for his medical treatment, in this regard he was granted a further exemption in bail by the accountability court for 14 days in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
