SC rejects Rao Anwar’s petition to strike off his name from ECL

ISLAMABAD: A two member bench of the apex court today  rejected former Malir Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Rao Anwar’s petition to have his name removed from the exit control list (ECL).

Anwar had filed a petition to the SC requesting to strike off his name from the ECL on account of performing Umrah and attending the wedding of his daughter abroad.

Anwar’s counsel filed the petition stating that his client was out on bail and his family lives abroad. He wants to meet them and also wants to perform Umrah with his family.

CJP suggested that Anwar’s family be called to Pakistan as he set aside the petition.

“Until the trial is over, Rao Anwar will stay in Pakistan,” he said.
