LHC orders removal of Parvez Elahi, family members’ names from PCL

Lahore: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered the federal government to remove the names of PTI leader Parvez Elahi, his son Rasikh Elahi and daughter-in-law Zara Elahi from the passport control list (PCL).

LHC Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza pronounced the verdict on the petitions.

According to the petitioners, the names of the Elahi family members had been put on the PCL “illegally”.

During the hearing, the federal government’s counsel opposed the request to remove the names from the PCL.

In May, Elahi was released from the Kot Lakhpath jail after he was granted bail in the illegal recruitments case.
