KARACHI: The Supreme Court ordered on Tuesday the relevant authorities to remove the name of Pakistan Peoples Party leader Dr Asim Hussain from the Exit Control List (ECL), overturning an earlier Sindh High Court ruling.
The apex court directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Federal Investigation Agency to remove Asim’s name from the ECL.
Asim was placed on the ECL in November 2015. He subsequently petitioned the courts to have his name removed.Asim has been allowed to leave for abroad for one month for medical treatment and has to submit a surety of Rs6 million.
