Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Vice-President Maryam Nawaz applied to the Lahore High Court (LHC) for permission to perform
Umrah.
On Thursday, an LHC bench comprised of Justice Sha
hbaz Ali Rizvi and Justice Anwarul Haq Pannu will hear Maryam Nawaz’s petition for permission to perform
Umrah (today).
Maryam Nawaz stated in her petition th
at she had surrendered her p
assport to the LHC, adding, “I want to go to Saudi Arabia to perform
Umrah but cannot because my p
assport is surrendered at the LHC.”
She pleaded with the court to allow her to go to
Umrah once and to issue orders temporarily returning her p
assport.
It is worth noting that the LHC, in granting bail to Maryam Nawaz in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case, ordered her to surrender her p
assport.
In November 2019, the Lahore High Court (LHC) granted bail to Maryam Nawaz, who was arrested on August 8 in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills (CSM) case.
The verdict was announced by a two-member high court bench consisting of Justice Ali Baqar Najafi and Justice Sardar Ahmad Naeem.
To secure her release, the PML-N lead
er was ordered to provide two surety bonds worth Rs10 million each, deposit an additional Rs70 million, and surrender her p
assport.
