ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Monday challenged the Lahore High Court’s (LHC) May 7 decision of granting one-time permission to PML-N President Mian Shehbaz Sharif to travel abroad in the Supreme Court.
According to the details, the federal government moved an appeal in the apex court under Article 185 of the country’s constitution.
The appellant requested the top court to suspend Lahore high court decision and declare the order null and void.
“The court cannot hand a unilateral decision of allowing someone to fly out of the country,” the appeal argues.
“There is no guarantee that Shehbaz Sharif will fly back home,” it states. “Shehbaz himself is a guarantor of ex-PM Nawaz Sharif and his wife, son, daughter and son-in-law are fugitive.”
On May 7, the Lahore High Court granted one-time permission to the PML-N leader to travel abroad for medical treatment.
The Court in its conditional permission allowed Shahbaz Sharif to go abroad from May 8 to July 5.
Shahbaz had approached the court to grant him permission, citing having gone to London earlier and returned.
