An application, requesting the Supreme Court, to order government to place the name of former President General Pervez Musharraf (Retd) on the exit control list (ECL), being responsible for Lal Masjid military operation, which mercilessly killed innocent children and other people, was filed on Friday.
Dr Akmal Saleemi advocate filed the application through his legal attorney Tariq Asad, making the Federal government through Interior ministry as respondent. The applicant requested the court to club the instant plea with pending petitions in Lal Masjid case.
The petitioner said that he was also a party to suo motu cases pertaining to the military operation in Lal Masjid and its religious seminary, Jamia Hafsa, which were pending before the court for adjudication.
"It is prayed the court to include the name of former President Pervez Musharraf in ECL so that he may not be able to leave Pakistan and escape from the expected trial and conviction for having committed the offence of murders and high treason," said the applicant.
The applicant hoped that after the restoration of pre-November 2, 2007 judiciary, particularly Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, the court would again take up pending cases relating to Lal Masjid operation, therefore, placing the name of former President Musharraf on the ECL was necessary to avert his escape abroad.
The applicant further said that he, in his pending petition, had made President Musharraf as respondent and responsible of killing of hundreds of people in Lal Masjid operation, thus the respondent (Musharraf) might leave the country to avert expected trial, if his name was not included in the ECL.
