LAHORE: The Supreme Court (SC) on Saturday directed interior ministry to place the names of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Member National Assembly (MNA) Afzal Khokhar and his brother Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Saiful Mulook Khokhar on the Exit Control List (ECL).
The directive was made as a two-member SC bench, headed by Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar, while hearing a suo motu notice on complaints by overseas Pakistanis regarding 22 encroachments on the land, owned by LDA in different parts of Lahore.
The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) and Punjab Police were also directed to set up a complaint centre to investigate claims made against Khokhars.
In addition, Afzal and Mulook were ordered to submit details of assets registered under their own and the names of their families.
While the directive to place the names on the ECL was made verbally, they were not mentioned in the formal orders.
The duo was summoned at the apex court’s Lahore Registry earlier in the day.
“It’s better that you relinquish the estate of widows and overseas Pakistanis you have seized,” CJ Nisar warned.
“We are getting numerous complaints against you,” he added. At one point, the chief justice pulled out his phone and mentioned the complaints he had been receiving.
“We have not grabbed anyone’s land,” Saiful Mulook informed the bench in response. “If grabbing is proved, I will not spare you,” the top judge remarked.
