Sindh High Court has ordered to remove the name of former president Pervez Musharraf from government’s Exit Control List (ECL).
The former army chief is now allowed to fly abroad.
The Sindh High Court on Thursday ordered Pakistan s government to lift a travel ban on former military ruler Pervez Musharraf in 15 days time, his lawyer said, possibly drawing a line under a raft of legal troubles.
Musharraf has been battling several court cases since he returned to Pakistan last year to fight elections, including treason charges for imposing emergency rule in 2007.
“The court has allowed our appeal and ordered to strike down Musharraf s name from the Exit Control List. The order will be executed after 15 days,” lawyer Farogh Naseem told AFP.
The delayed execution of the order “will give time to the government to appeal in a superior court if they so desire”, he added.
