The Islamabad High Court last month suspended the sentence of the former prime minister for eight weeks on health issues.

However, Sharif could not proceed abroad as his name was on a list, those listed could not go abroad without the government's permission.

The Lahore High Court later permitted him to go abroad but he will return after a month to complete his jail sentence.

Shehbaz is accompanying his brother in the air ambulance.

A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court ruled that time period of Sharif's treatment abroad could be extended on the basis of the medical reports.The bench also ordered the government to remove Sharif's name from the Exit Control List.The court had ruled that Shehbaz will ensure that his brother will return to the country in accordance with the ruling, adding that it would be violation of the undertaking if Sharif did not return to the country.
