Supreme Court on Monday suspended Sindh High Court s (SHC) verdict regarding removal of Pervez Musharraf’s from the Exit Control List (ECL).
A five-member bench of the apex court comprising Justice Nasiul Mulk, Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali, Justice Saqib Nisar, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa, and Justice Ijaz Afzal heard federal government’s plea challenging SHC’s verdict.
The government in its appeal had requested the apex court to suspend Sindh High Court’s decision for allowing Musharraf to travel abroad.
On June 12, a two-judge bench of the Sindh High Court comprising Justices Mohammad Ali Mazhar and Shahnawaz issued a 44-page verdict ordering the federal government to remove Musharraf s name from the ECL.
The high court had declared that the parties opposing its ruling could move the Supreme Court in the next 15 days and made it clear that till then Musharraf cannot leave the country.
