Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Thursday rejected a plea from former meteorologist of A.Q Khan Research laboratories, Dr Nazir Ahmed of removing his name from Exit Control list (ECL).

According to sources, the ex-meteorologist’s name was placed on Exit Control List (ECL) and his passport was suspended after suspected of having ties with the global network of Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadir Khan involved in expanding nuclear technology.

Dr Nazir has also filed a plea in Supreme Court of Pakistan, where the proceedings would begin from Friday.

An intelligence department and strategic plans division have submitted different documents in SC raising questions on the foreign tour of the ex-A.Q Khan aide. The institutions said that it might be possible that in his foreign tours, Dr Nazir would rebuild his ties with the former network involved in spreading Nukes technology.
