ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday allowed former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry to travel abroad, ARY News reported.

IHC Chief Justice Amir Farooq announced the decision on the plea filed by PTI leader Chaudhry, seeking removal of his name from Passport Control List (PCL).

The court directed relevant authorities to remove Fawad Chaudhry’s name from PCL for two weeks and allowed him to travel abroad from August 10 to August 24.

A day earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) ordered to remove Elahi’s name from the Passport Control List (PCL).
