14 days stay extension for Hamza Shahbaz: LHC announces verdict

11 Feb, 2019

LAHORE - The Lahore High Court on Monday granted a 14-day extension for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz Sharif for his stay in London.

In his petition, Hamza Shehbaz had sought an extension so he could stay with his new-born daughter who has been diagnosed with a serious cardiac issue and must undergo surgery.

Hamza Shehbaz arrived in London on February 3 after the Lahore High Court gave the Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader one-time permission to leave the country.

He had initially been granted permission for a period of ten-days and his name was removed from the Exit Control List.
