Karachi: The Sindh Information Minister got a big relief. The Sindh High Court, while accepting the revision petition, ordered the removal of Sharjeel Inam Memon’s name from the ECL.
A 2-member bench headed by Justice KK Agha gave a verdict on the request of PPP leader Sharjeel Memon for revision of the Sindh Information Department’s corruption reference. The court allowed the revision request of Sharjeel Memon and ordered to remove the name from the ECL.
Petitioner’s counsel, Raj Wahid Advocate, submitted that the court had ordered the inclusion of Sharjeel Memon’s name in the ECL while granting bail. Sharjeel Memon has to repeatedly seek permission to go out of the country. Sharjeel Memon is appearing regularly in the trial court, so his name should be ordered to be removed from the permanent ECL. NAB and the federal government’s counsel have also supported the removal of Sharjeel Memon’s name from the permanent ECL.
After hearing the arguments of the parties, the court accepted the revision request of Sharjeel Inam Memon. The decision on the petition was reserved by a 2-judge bench headed by Justice KK Agha.
