The petition submitted by Watan Party Chairman Barrister Zafrullah Khan claimed that Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Captain (r) Safdar are already imprisoned and placing their names on ECL is retribution.
The plea statement also requested the court to exclude names of Sharif, Maryam and Captain Safdar from the ECL.
The court should issue orders to shift Sharif and Maryam to their personal residence after declaring it sub-jail, plea added.
Earlier on August 21, the names of Sharif and Maryam were placed on the ECL after approval from the federal cabinet.
On August 20, while briefing the newsmen after maiden federal cabinet session, Information & Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that the government has decided to place Sharif, Maryam and Captain Safdar’s names on ECL.
The cabinet also directed the law and interior ministries to implement red warrants against Sharif’s sons, Hassan and Hussain and former finance minister Ishaq Dar and bring them back to Pakistan, Chaudhry added. The information minister said the law ministry has also been directed to contact the British government over the Avenfield properties.
