Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, along with his son Rasakh Elahi and daughter-in-law Zahra Elahi, has challenged the inclusion of their names in the Pakistan Consolidated List (PCL), seeking permission to perform Umrah with his family, reported 24NewsHD TV channel Wednesday.

The family filed an application in the Lahore High Court to have their names removed from the PCL, which restricts their ability to travel abroad. The petition named the Federal Government, the Ministry of Interior, and other relevant authorities as parties to the case.

In a recent decision, the Lahore High Court allowed the removal of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and his family’s names from the PCL, thereby permitting them to travel abroad. Following this ruling, the concerned authorities temporarily withdrew their names from the PCL.

However, the names of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Rasakh Elahi, and Zahra Elahi were subsequently re-included in the PCL, prompting the family to file another application. Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has now requested the court to issue definitive orders to permanently remove their names from the PCL, enabling him and his family to undertake their Umrah pilgrimage without further restrictions.

Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi emphasized the importance of performing Umrah and appealed to the Lahore High Court to uphold their right to travel. He requested that the court ensure the removal of his and his family members’ names from the PCL, allowing them to go abroad for their religious obligations.

The petitioners are seeking a final ruling to secure their exclusion from the PCL, thereby facilitating their planned journey abroad for Umrah.
