A three-member bench of the Lahore High Court headed by Chief Justice Mohammad Ameer Bhatti approved Maryam Nawaz’s appeal seeking the recovery of her passport.
Maryam originally submitted an appeal on April 21 in the Lahore High Court that she wished to perform Umrah and visit London to tend to her ailing father Nawaz Sharif later she had withdrawn her application. She had surrendered the passport to the court for the bail in a case.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has built a politically motivated case against Maryam on false allegations, she maintained in the application.
In the past four years, no sugar mills reference has been registered against her, the petition said adding that a person cannot be deprived of their fundamental rights for a long period of time.
During the previous hearing, the NAB had told the LHC that it has no objection to the courting returning the passport of Maryam Nawaz.
