How to get your name removed from exit control list ( ECL) In Pakistan (1)
HOW TO GET YOUR NAME REMOVED FROM EXIT CONTROL LIST (ECL) IN PAKISTAN

Every Citizen has right to move and travel in or outside Pakistan as long as such citizen has a valid passport and valid Visa issued by the country of destination. However, right to travel abroad is subject to clearance of Law Enforcement Agencies and other Government Institutions. This means that Law Enforcement Agencies have power to stop a person from traveling outside Pakistan but this power is not unbridled and while restricting a person from traveling abroad, every department or agency is required to follow the law and regulations existing at the time.

Under the Rules of Business, it is the Interior Ministry which has the power to regulate the affairs pertaining to movement of Pakistani Citizens abroad. In this regard, the Exit from Pakistan (Control) Ordinance 1981 was introduced to empower the Interior Ministry to supervise movement of certain persons who are required in Pakistan to participate in some inquiry, investigation or legal proceedings but there is likelihood of such persons to wriggle out or slip away from Pakistan.

What is Exit Control List?

Ministry of Interior to control movement of certain persons have maintained an Exit Control List. Exit Control is sometimes also called ECL or No-Fly List. Passport and CNIC of person whose name is put on ECL gets blocked as soon as his name is entered on ECL. Neither he can travel nor can have his document renewed till the time his name is removed from ECL.

When name of person can be placed on Exit Control List?

The Exit from Pakistan (Control) Ordinance, 1981 read with the Exit from Pakistan (Control) Rules, 2010 provide the detailed procedure to be followed by Interior Ministry to place name of a person of Exit Control List. Rule 3 of the Exit from Pakistan (Control) Rules, 2010, provide that Interior Ministry upon request of any Law Enforcement Agency, Department or Authority may place name of a person on Exit Control List through a written order specifying the grounds for so doing.

Whether name of any person can be place on Exit Control List?

No, only name of such persons can be placed on Exit Control List who are required by Law enforcement Agency, department, authority or Court to participate in the proceedings and there is likelihood of such person to escape from Pakistan. Following are the activities, involvement of which may necessitate entering name of person on ECL:

Person involved in corruption causing loss to Government’s fund or property
Person who misuse of authority causing loss to Government’s fund or property
Person involved in heinous crime, terror activity or commit act through which national security is threatened
Person who commit economic crime to embezzle government funds
Institutional fraud committed by any person
Where there is default of tax or liability valuing PKR 10 Million due
Default of Loan or liability above PKR 100 Million
Where name of person is forwarded by Banking Court, High Court or Supreme Court of Pakistan
Person involved in crime relating to Drug trafficking
Person who has been convicted of an offence by competent court

Whether name of any person can be forwarded to be placed on ECL?

In usual circumstances name of every person cannot be requested to be placed on ECL. Proviso of Rule 3 of the Exit from Pakistan (Control) Rules, 2010, clearly stated that following are the persons whose name cannot be placed on ECL:

Person involved in private dispute
Person involved in crime and dacoity unless special circumstance exist
Such women or children who are made director in company by major shareholder as their family member
Whether name of person can be placed on ECL when he is also outside Pakistan?

Yes, any person’s name can be placed on ECL whether he is in Pakistan or abroad. However, there must be facts that necessitate the entering name of such person of ECL.

Can a person’s name be removed from ECL?

Yes, it is possible to have the name of person removed from ECL. In most of the cases, agencies like FIA or other departments put the name of person on ECL for ulterior motives without there being any justified cause. In several cases, it is also seen that name of person is placed on ECL based on private civil disputes illegally and unlawfully.

In such circumstances, High Court of province has power to judicially review action of Ministry of Interior and an also direct Ministry to remove name of such person from ECL being placed on list without following due legal procedure and process. Nonetheless, it is important to first have clarity as to which department and on what basis, has such authority applied with Ministry of Interior for putting name of person on ECL.

How can I know whether my name is entered on ECL or not?

Easiest way to determine that your name has been placed on ECL or not is by approaching the nearest Passport office. If you are living outside Pakistan, you can approach nearest Pakistani Consulate to see if your passport is blocked. If your passport is blocked, you can request the office to provide you with documentary proof to understand which department has got your passport blocked.

If your passport is blocked due to fact that your name has been put on ECL. Our expert lawyers can fully assist you in having your name removed from No-fly List/ECL in a quick span of time. Give us a call and we will handle the rest. +92 312 6811013

Inheritance provisions in Pakistan

Depends on religious affinities. All persons of sound mind, regardless of their nationality or residential status, are entitled by law to inherit immovable and/or movable property in Pakistan, but the inheritance provisions depend on whether the deceased was a Christian, a Hindu, or a Muslim.

Within the Muslim category, the definitions of heirs, and their shares, are decided according to their sects and sub-sects, e.g. Cutchi Memon, Khoja, Sunni or Shia. The judiciary depends on the domicile of the deceased.
The competent judges to handle property and inheritance issues are those in the last domicile of the deceased. If this is contested, or unknown, then the judiciary depends on where the property is located. For property located in Pakistan, a Civil District Court, or a High Court, is competent to handle inheritance issues.
National laws may apply to non-Muslims domiciled outside Pakistan.
If a deceased foreigner is not a Muslim, and his/her national law states that the applicable inheritance law is that of the country where the deceased is domiciled, or the country where the deceased’’s property is located, then the laws of that country will be be applied in Pakistan. Consequently, if a Hindu or Christian with assets in Pakistan died whilst domiciled outside Pakistan, then in most circumstances the courts in Pakistan would distribute the assets according to the provisions of the foreigner’’s national inheritance law.

Muslims domiciled in or outside Pakistan must follow Muslim Law.
The courts in Pakistan in the matters of succession to the estate of a Muslim, can only apply Muslim inheritance law, irrespective of the domicile or nationality of the deceased. If a Muslim citizen of Pakistan dies whilst domiciled in foreign country, then the laws of his domicile can not be applied to his estate in Pakistan. The Muslim Law of inheritance in Pakistan is based on the following:
There is no concept of a will, and all shares are distributed to legal heirs by intestate succession.

The shares of the inheritance depend on the closeness of the relationship of the legal heirs to the deceased. blood relations have the closest ties. It is not possible here to provide a simple summary of how these shares are distributed. It depends on how many children, sisters, brothers, mothers, and other relatives the deceased person had, and it changes from case to case.
In most cases, a man’s share of the inheritance is twice that of woman’s. Any gift given by the woman’s fianc is her own, and her husband has no legal right to claim it, even after marriage. On marriage, she is entitled to receive a marriage gift called “Mehar” and this is her own property.

Muslim heirs acquire an absolute interest in specific shares of the estate of their ancestor, even before distribution. The time of distribution is not material. Succession opens at the position prevailing at the moment of death of the ancestor. ‘Vested inheritance’ may occur i.e. if an heir dies before distribution, but was alive at the ancestor’s death, the share of his/her vested inheritance passes on to his/her heirs.
Property can be donated during the lifetime of a Muslim. A Pakistani Muslim can freely give away any personal property before death. No one, including the legitimate heirs, can challenge this decision after the death of the donor.

If you are Looking for immediate Legal relief in your case may be your first legal weapon in a court of Law.
