The Supreme Court in a written order on Wednesday stated that the names of Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto and Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah should be removed from the Exit Control List.
The SC judge justice Ijazul Ahsan wrote the verdict in which the court ordered the Joint Investigation Team to send all the evidence and relevant material to the National Accountability Bureau.
The verdict stated that the JIT will assist the NAB in the investigation and submit the report to the court within 15 days. The order stated that if concrete evidence is found against the PPP chairman and CM Sindh then their names can be added to the ECL.
The court mentioned that the NAB will thoroughly probe the material regarding and if there is no case to be constituted it will remove the names from the ECL.
On January 7, the Supreme Court had ordered the NAB to initiate a fresh inquiry into the mega money laundering and fake bank accounts case.
