Lahore: The Opposition Leader in National Assembly, Shehbaz Sharif has filed a contempt of court plea in the Lahore High Court (LHC) for not allowing him to travel abroad.

According to details, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President in his plea has made federal government and Director General Federal Investigation Agency (DG-FIA) Wajid Zia as respondents.
The plea was filed through Amjad Pervez and Azam Nazir Tarar advocate in the LHC.
Shehbaz in his plea maintained that he was granted permission by court to travel abroad but he was stopped at the airport by FIA immigration counter.
The petitioner requested the court to initiate contempt of court proceedings against the officials for not following court orders.
It should be noted that on April 22, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had approved Shehbaz Sharif on bail in a case about assets beyond means. On May 07, court also allowed him to fly abroad for eight weeks on medical grounds.
However on May 08, the PML-N President was offloaded at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal Airport from a Doha-bound flight by the immigration officials as his name was on the provincial identification list (PNIL).
The PML-N leader was issued a boarding pass but was barred from boarding the plane after immigration officers cited system update issues.
Later speaking over the issue, Fawad Chaudhry had said that Shahbaz Sharif’s guarantee could not be accepted as he had earlier given assurances about former premier Nawaz Sharif's return but nothing became of that.
