LAHORE/ISLAMABAD: The Lahore High Court (LHC) Monday disposed of as withdrawn the petitions of Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif against the federal government for placing him on a blacklist and seeking implementation of a court order that gave him a one-time permission to go abroad for medical treatment.
Shahbaz had filed a civil miscellaneous application, saying he wanted to withdraw his pending petitions since his name had been placed in the exit control list (ECL). His counsel Amjad Pervez said the pendency of the petitions with regard to the blacklist would be of no use for the petitioner or the government. He said the petitioner intended to challenge the government decision of placing him on the ECL.

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday sought a reply from the federal government on a petition of Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, seeking compliance with the court order regarding allowing him to fly abroad for medical treatment.
Justice Ali Baqar Najafi directed the deputy attorney general to apprise the court after seeking instructions from the government. Earlier, the government lawyer opposed the petition of Shahbaz Sharif, saying that it has become infructuous after Shahbaz’s name was placed on the Exit Control List. He said the government had implemented the court order in letter and spirit.

LAHORE: An additional district and sessions court on Tuesday dismissed pre-arrest bail of the PMLN MNA Javed Latif after which he was arrested by the police. Javed Latif has been accused of allegedly defaming state institutions and inciting people against the state.
As the hearing commenced on Tuesday in the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Wajid Minhas, counsel of Javed Latif argued that the FIR registered against his client was false and based on malice. He said the police have registered case against his client without listening to him.
The counsel argued that the case against his client was registered on the basis of a conversation in a TV programme. He said a sedition case cannot be registered at the request of a citizen. He further said that such case cannot be registered on political talk. Astonishingly, the counsel alleged that a conspiracy was hatched to assassinate Maryam Nawaz and his client’s discussion was in that context.
