ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court on Friday issued the detailed verdict of the case pertaining to removal of former President Pervez Musharraf’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
The 13-page detailed verdict authored by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali stated: “We have heard the arguments of Attorney
General for Pakistan on behalf of the Appellant and Dr Farough Naseem, for respondent General (R) Pervez Musharraf.
For the reasons to be recorded separately, this appeal is dismissed. However, this order will not preclude the Federation of Pakistan or the Special Court, seized of the proceedings under Article 6 of the Constitution against respondent General (R) Pervez Musharraf, from passing any legal order for regulating his custody or restricting his movement.”
The order termed that Pervez Musharraf’s name removal from ECL case was legal in Sindh High Court and stated that the perusal of impugned judgment reveals that the learned Division Bench of the High Court of Sindh Karachi, has correctly appreciated the relevant facts of the case, aptly taken into consideration the case-law cited at the bar, and recorded valid and cogent reasons for granting requisite relief to Musharraf, thereby striking down the memorandum No.12/74/2013-ECL dated 05.4.2013, issued by the Ministry of Interior.
Not only this, but mindful of the sensitive nature and political hype of the issue, as an abundant precaution, it had also suspended the operation of impugned judgment for a period of 15 days to enable the appellant and proforma respondents to avail any other appropriate remedy, including their right to challenge the impugned judgment before the apex court.
Still the appellant took no independent stance/decision in the matter, except following the remedy of challenging the said judgment in this appeal, which, as discussed above, is devoid of merits.” – APP
