- Maryam will return to Pakistan with her father, say family sources.

- Maryam received her passport on LHC’s order on October 4.
LAHORE: PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz is set to leave for London today (Wednesday) after the Lahore High Court returned her passport which she had submitted to obtain bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills Case.
The PML-N leader has already arrived at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport for her flight to London.
“I cannot wait for the plane to land [in London] and meet my father,” Maryam told Pak Revenue News at the airport.
Sources say that the PML-N leader has taken a private airline’s flight that will depart at 10am. She is also expected to stay in London for two weeks and undergo a medical checkup, they added.
Sharif family sources told Geo News that Maryam will return to Pakistan with her father, Nawaz Sharif.
Maryam’s passport was returned to her a day earlier after the Lahore High Court three-member bench, earlier this week, ordered to return the travel document.
The PML-N leader had approached the LHC against the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) saying despite absence of any charge sheet against her or trial, she had not been able to exercise her fundamental rights for about four years.
She had pleaded that she was in dire need to go abroad to attend to and inquire after her ailing father, requesting the court to direct the deputy registrar (judicial) to return her passport in the interest of justice.
Maryam Nawaz had surrendered her passport to the court when post-arrest bail was granted to her in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.
