KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Sindh High Court (SHC) ordered on Friday the authorities to remove Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Sharjeel Inam Memon’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL) permanently in assets beyond means case.
A two-member bench of the SHC headed by Justice KK Agha heard the case.
This is the second case in which his name has been from the no-fly list.
Earlier On October 4, the SHC removed Memon’s name from the ECL permanently in a misuse of authority case.
He is on trial for misusing his authority while serving as the local government minister and purchasing a plot in Karachi cantonment with ill-gotten money.
At a hearing earlier this month, Ali Wahid, the counsel for Sharjeel Memon, maintained that the court had put Sharjeel’s name on the ECL when he applied for bail. Since then, he has to seek permission every time he want to go out of the country.
Sharjeel Memon has been appearing before the court at every hearing, therefore, his name should be removed from the ECL, the counsel requested.
The government and the NAB, on the other hand, also support to decision remove Memon’s name from the list.
Afterward, the court ordered the authorities to remove Sharjeel’s name from the no fly-list.
