Federal government has prepared a draft of a petition to be filed before the Supreme Court to challenge the Lahore High Court (LHC) decision allowing PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif to travel abroad.  

According to details, the petition will be filed before the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday (tomorrow) under article 185 (3) of the Constitution of Pakistan.

Earlier, LHC had allowed Shehbaz Sharif to go abroad. Justice Ali Baqir Najfi announced the ruling on the former Punjab chief minister’s petition seeking exclusion of his name from the blacklist.

The court allowed Shehbaz Sharif one-time visit to United Kingdom from May 8 to July 5 for medical check-up, besides seeking reply from respondents.

However, the federal government barred him from travelling abroad and announced to challenge the court’s decision.
