The federal government has allowed the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for medical treatment.
A notification issued from the interior ministry stated that the federal government approved one-time permission to the former premier to travel abroad on medical grounds for four weeks.
The four weeks as per the notification would be counted from the date of departure and should be within the time period of bail granted to the Nawaz Sharif from Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The departure is, however, linked with the submission of indemnity bonds worth eight million United Kingdom (UK) pounds or equivalent rupees, 25 million United States (US) dollars or equivalent rupees and Rs 1.5 billion rupees to the additional secretary of the interior ministry.
