ISLAMABAD: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday ordered removal of Zulfi Bukhari’s name from the blacklist.
During the hearing at the IHC Justice Aamer Farooq directed the Interior Ministry to remove Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s close friend Bukhari’s name from the blacklist, ending the prevailing travel restrictions.
Earlier on Tuesday Justice Farooq had reserved the verdict over the petition seeking removal of Bukhari’s name from the blacklist.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s close aide Zulfi Bukhari was earlier barred from leaving Pakistan while he was travelling with Khan to perform Umrah. However, Bukhari had left after a six-day one-time grant was given by the interim interior minister, which he confessed later on.
Bukhari had left for Saudi Arabia with Khan from Nur Khan Airbase.
Bukhari’s counsel had earlier argued that the accountability bureau could not investigate into his client as he was a british national and any such probe was beyond their jurisdiction.
