LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Saturday set plea of Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif seeking removal of his name from the Exit Control List (ECL) for hearing on Monday, ARY News reported.
A two-member bench comprising Justice Malik Shehzad and Justice Mirza Waqas Rauf will hear the case.
Shehbaz in his plea has named the interior ministry, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman and other concerned authorities as respondent.
The petitioner said his name was unlawfully placed on the ECL as it was illegitimate to restrict movement of somebody as per the constitution of Pakistan.

His counsel asked the court to annul the notification placing his client’s name on the ECL.
On February 28, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Shairf had challenged placing his name on the ECL in the LHC.
“NAB failed to prove charges of financial irregularities in Ramzan Sugar Mills and Ashiana Housing scam,” Sharif had stated in his plea.
He further added that the court granted him bail after provision of evidence of his innocence.
Shehbaz had pleaded the court to order removal of his name from the ECL.
His name was put on the ECL following approval of the federal cabinet on recommendations of the anti-graft watchdog.
