LHC allows Shahbaz Gill to travel to US

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday allowed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shehbaz Gill to travel to the United States for four weeks.

A three-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) headed by the Chief Justice heard the petition against the inclusion of Shahbaz Gill’s name in the Exit Control List (ECL).

The court allowed Shahbaz Gill to travel abroad once for four weeks.

The court sought a response from the federal government on the inclusion of Shahbaz Gill’s name in the ECL.

Gill’s name was included in the ECL after case was registered against him of sedition in the ranks of institution. He was arrested and interrogated in the case and was later released on bail.

PTI leader had applied to exclude his name from the ECL because he had to visit the US to see ailing family.
