ISLAMABAD, July 15 (TNS): The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has allowed the interior ministry to proceed with placing the name of Zulfi Bukhari on the exit control list (ECL) after requested by National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

Zulfi Bukhari, close aide of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, had filed a petition before IHC to remove his name from the blacklist.  Earlier IHC accepted Bukhari’s petition and directed the interior ministry to exclude his name from the blacklist. The interior ministry informed the court that placing  Bukhari on the blacklist was a precautionary move in response to NAB’s request, because the subcommittee responsible for approving the inclusion of names on the ECL was dysfunctional at the time the request was forwarded.
