Passport given to Maryam Nawaz back, LHC order

Lahore: (Staff Reporter) Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered to return Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s passport.

A three-member bench headed by the Chief Justice of LHC resumed the hearing on the petition filed by Maryam Nawaz for her passport return today.

In the petition, the PML-N leader has taken the stance that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has not filed the reference of Chaudhry Sugar Mills for 4 years, so the court should direct the registrar office to return her passport.

Furthermore in the last hearing, the three-judge bench had sought reply from the respondents, while NAB had decided not to oppose Maryam’s plea for passport return.

Meanwhile, the LHC accepted Maryam’s plea and directed to return her passport in today’s hearing.
