Govt challenges LHC order allowing Shehbaz to travel abroad
LHC on May 07 gave one-time permission to the Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal government has filed a plea in Supreme Court to challenge the Lahore High Court (LHC) order allowing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad.

Earlier on May 7, the LHC gave one-time permission to Oppositon Leader of National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif to go abroad for medical treatment.
However, the federal government barred him from travelling abroad and announced to challenge the court’s decision.
Name of Shehbaz Sharif included in ECL: Sh Rashid
Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid on Monday has said that the name of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president and opposition leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif has been included in Exit Control List (ECL).
National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had recommended to put Shehbaz Sharif’s name on the ECL as it was investigating a corruption case of seven billion rupees against him, he pointed.
