KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Friday allowed Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) MPA Faryal Talpur to travel abroad to meet her ailing daughter in the United Kingdom.
Faryal Talpur had submitted a plea in the high court, seeking the removal of her name from the Exit Control List (ECL) to travel to the United Kingdom (UK).
In her plea, Faryal had stated that she wants to travel abroad as her daughter Ayesha Talpur is studying in the UK and her health has worsened. She had sought one-time permission to move to the UK for taking care of her daughter for one week.
On Friday, Justice K K Agha heard the plea moved by the PPP lawmaker. The bench showed resentment over no response from the interior ministry and the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
The NAB prosecutor, in his argument before the court, said that Faryal’s name is placed on the ECL but the bureau has no objection over one-time visit of the PPP lawmaker to abroad.
After no objection from the NAB, the SHC allowed Faryal, who is also the sister of former president Asif Ali Zardari, to travel abroad and directed her to submit Rs2.5 million in court as a surety bond.
The court also directed to send a copy of the order to the secretary interior and DG FIA personally.
