The Peshawar High Court on Thursday ordered immediate removal of PTI leader and former National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser's name from exit control list (ECL), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
The newly-elected MNA moved the court that his name should be removed from the ECL as he wanted to travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.
PHC’s Justice Shakeel Ahmed and Justice Sahibzada Asadullah while conducting the hearing, ordered the government that Asad Qaiser’s name should be removed from the list.
The court declared the inclusion of Asad Qaiser's name in the ECL as unconstitutional and illegal.
The former National Assembly speaker was earlier stopped on his way to perform Umrah on the plea that his name was placed on the ECL by the authorities concerned.
