This Thursday, the government of Pakistan finally heard Pervez Musharraf’s appeal and ordered to lift the travel ban on the former military ruler, informed his lawyer, in a court decision that could draw a line under a raft of legal troubles.
Musharraf, 70, has been battling several court cases since he returned to Pakistan in 2013 to contest for the elections last year. The cases include the infamous case related to treason charges for imposing emergency rule in 2007. A two-judge bench of the Sindh High Court comprising Justices Mohammad Ali Mazhar and Shahnawaz issued a brief ruling directing the Nawaz Sharif government to remove Musharraf’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL). Presiding Judge Muhammed Ali Mazhar said the ban “placing the name of retired General Pervez Musharraf on the Exit Control List is struck down.” “The operation of the judgement is suspended for 15 days so that the respondent (the government) may file appeal before the Supreme Court.”
Sources told a local media house that Musharraf had written to the Secretary of Interior to have his name crossed off Exit Control List (ECL) as ordered by the Sindh High Court so he could visit his ailing nonagenarian mother in Abu Dhabi and get his painful vertebral fracture treated overseas.“Sindh High Court (SHC) has ruled in the applicant’s favour and Supreme Court’s earlier decision was provisional, which stands null & void after the conclusive decision”, the letter said. Musharraf also attached with the letter his mother’s medical certificate.
