The Sindh High Court of Pakistan today has set 18th
November as a final date for taking a decision on the plea filed by the former
President of the country Mr. Parvez Musharraf against government’s ban on him
for traveling out of Pakistan.
Parvez Musharraf’s legal team had filed a petition on Tusday
which was pleading the high court to take off Musharraf’s name from the ‘Exit
Control List’ issued by the Interior Ministry of Pakistan because in the
earlier order the curt had barred him from leaving the country without prior
permission of trial courts. The chief of Musharraf’s legal team advocate Raza
Kasuri said that the former ruler of the country want to leave for Dubai to be
with his ill mother who is 95 years old and unable to travel to Pakistan.

Decision on Musharraf’s leaving Pakistan on 18th
November
|
After returning to Pakistan to participation in the
general elections held in the country this May several cases were slapped on
Musharraf and was under house arrest till last few days. He got bail on all the
cases including the case involving him for killing the former Prime Minister
Benzir Bhutto. Musharraf was under the house arrest at his Chak Shahzad
farmhouse just in the outskirts of Islamabad
for almost six months. He got bail last week in the case of murder of Lal
Masjid cleric Abdul Rasheed Ghazi.
Kasuri was confident that their plea will be uphold by the
Sindh High Court when the matter will come before it again on 18th
of this month. Musharraf’s legal adviser Mr AQ Halepota who filed the petition
on behalf of him in the court told the reporters gathered outside the court
that the earlier order of the court was violating the fundamental rights of an
individual, in this case Musharraf and hence he has pleaded to the court to
modify its earlier order. He also added that Musharraf will definitely come
back to Pakistan
if he is allowed to see her ill mother.
