The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday announced to form a two-member bench to hear Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s plea about returning her passport to her.
The first hearing of the plea would be heard in LHC on September 7, 2022.
According to details, two member bench would be headed by Justice Ali Baqir
Najafi.
According to details, Maryam Nawaz filed a petition in the LHC seeking the
return of her passport. In the petition, the PML-N vice president said that
her passport has been in judicial custody for past four years.
The petition said, “Till now, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has
failed to submit challan in Chaudhry Sugar Mill case,” pointing out that the
court granted bail to PML-N leader on merit.
She further said that no one can be deprived of a fundamental right for a
longer period, urging the LHC to pass orders to the deputy registrar to
return her passport which she had surrendered complying with order on
October 31, 2019.
It is worth mentioning here that former premier Nawaz Sharif’s daughter had
submitted her passport to the court after it approved her bail in the
Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
