The Supreme Court in its written order issued on Wednesday ordered that the names of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah be removed from the exit control list (ECL). Justice Ijazul Ahsan wrote the verdict in which the court ordered the joint investigation team (JIT) to send all the evidence and relevant material to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The verdict stated that the JIT will assist NAB in the investigation and submit the report to the court within 15 days.
The order stated that if concrete evidence is found against the PPP chairman and Sindh chief minister, their names can be added again to the ECL. The court ruled that the NAB will thoroughly probe the material and if there is no case to be constituted, it will remove the names from the ECL.
