LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday directed the Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) and DG FIA to immediately comply with the court orders and allowed the PTI leader Shahbaz Gill to travel abroad.
The LHC heard a petition filed by Shahbaz Gill against the Punjab IG Police and DG FIA for not allowing him to travel abroad in compliance with the court orders.
He demanded action against the two respondents for not implementing the court’s orders and sought permission for travelling abroad.
The Chief Justice Lahore High Court summoned the Punjab IG Police and DG FIA on the next hearing scheduled for April 17.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill moved Lahore High Court (LHC) against Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), seeking the removal of his name from the exit control list (ECL). Taking up the plea, the Lahore High Court (LHC) allowed the petitioner to travel abroad, but FIA and the IG Punjab did not complied with the court’s orders.
It is pertinent to mention here that Shahbaz Gill was barred from flying from the Lahore Airport to Saudi Arabia by the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA).
The FIA immigration wing stopped Shahbaz Gill, claiming that his name was still on the exit control list (ECL).
It is to be recalled that on March 29, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had permitted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Shahbaz Gill to visit the United States (US) for four weeks.
