LHC orders return of withheld passport of Maryam

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered to return the withheld passport of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Maryam Nawaz.

A three-member bench of the LHC headed by Chief Justice, Muhammad Ameer Bhatti heard the plea. Maryam Nawaz’s counsel argued before the court. The counsel contended that Maryam Nawaz’s plea to return her passport is different from her earlier plea in which she had requested the court to allow her to visit his ailing father Nawaz Sharif in London.

Maryam Nawaz had surrendered her passport on the directions of the court, and her basic human rights were being violated from the past four years as the past government failed to submit challan in the case.
