Summary Musharraf wants to travel abroad for medical checkup and to see his ailing mother.
KARACHI (Web Desk) – The Sindh High Court on Thursday ordered authorities to remove former military ruler Pervez Musharraf’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
A two-member high court bench comprising Justice Mohammad Ali Mazhar and Justice Shahnawaz announced the decision on Musharraf’s plea.
According to legal experts, the government can contest the decision within 15 days.
The government had barred Musharraf from going abroad and has placed his name on the ECL after he was charged in several cases including the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and high treason.
Aside from the treason allegations, Musharraf also faces trial over the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, the death of Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, a deadly raid on Lal Masjid and the detention of judges.
