ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday ordered the removal of former DG ISI Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani’s name from the Exit Control List (ECL).
The case was heard by IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah.
After hearing arguments from all parties to the case, the IHC chief justice ruled that Durrani has the same rights as any other ordinary citizen, adding that there was no basis to keep his name on the no-fly list.
The IHC chief justice said that Durrani’s name was included in the ECL as it was said that an inquiry involving the former DG ISI was underway at that time.
“According to the records, no such inquiry is underway at present. The petitioner is a three-star retired general and [former] director-general Inter-Services Intelligence,” added Justice Minallah, saying that he has the right to freedom of movement.
