Lahore High Court approved Monday PML-N President Shehbaz Sharifâs request to withdraw his petition on being allowed to travel abroad.
Shehbaz withdrew the petition because he has been placed on the Exit Control List by the federal government, which prevents him from travelling internationally, his lawyer told the court.
Shehbaz had petitioned the court asking it to order the government to implement its earlier order, which allowed him to travel to London. The court had allowed him to travel on May 7 but he was off-loaded the next day at the airport by the Federal Investigation Agency.
