Addressing a press conference in Islamabad to announce the development on Wednesday, Minister for Interior Shaikh Rasheed said that Shahbaz may petition for a review of the decision within 15 days.
He said the ministry will make a decision within 90 days of receiving a request for review, adding that the PML-N leader may appear in person, if he so wishes, to make the request.
Speaking in greater detail about Shahbaz's name being placed on a "black list", Rasheed said that it was not the case at all.
"The court's decision came with regard to a black list. Shahbaz Sharif was not on a black list. He was [...] under an order of May 7, 2021," he said, without elaborating any further.
The interior minister said that there are three lists used to prevent someone from travelling abroad: one is the black list, into which someone's name in included by the Passport Office; the second is Provincial Identification List (PNIL), into which someone's name is added by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA); and the third is the Exit Control List (ECL) into which the federal cabinet has the authority to put someone's name.
He said today, at the request of the National Accountability Bureau, which is pursuing cases against the Opposition leader, a three-member sub-committee unanimously recommended to the cabinet to add Shahbaz to the ECL.
Rasheed said that the interior ministry "received no request (for permission to travel)" and "nothing stating medical grounds", whereas past requests had cited medical grounds.
