Sikander Jatoi is the father of Shahrukh Jatoi, who was accused of murdering Shahzeb Khan. Under the Anti-terrorism Act, Shahrukh was sentenced to death but was later pardoned by the victim's family.
Following the murder, Shahrukh fled to Dubai and his father was arrested and his name was put under the ECL.
Now that Shahrukh is pardoned by the victim's family, Sikander, through the counsel of his lawyers requested the SHC to remove his name from the list.
Background

@Truth: What you are saying is wrong....they were given offers, none were taken, their father was profusely beaten to give in, threatened as well. Also in the Anti Terror court you cannot and I say CANNOT pardon people, you still get punished if convicted.
No good parents would ever take money for their sons death, would you ?
ET get your facts straight.

Sharukh stands convicted. As per your own newspaper, he just filed an appeal on 24th Jan 2014. What is he appealing against if he is not convicted?
There are no pardons in Anti Terrorist Courts.
Please stop misleading our not-so-discerning public.
Wakeup tribune. Shahrukh filed for appeal on 23 Jan 2014. This is on your own website.
He is still convicted. There are no family pardons in Anti Terror Courts.
Get your facts straight and stop misleading the public.
@Tanzeel: Pakistan for you
It is said that most of Pakistans problems stem from a disfunctional judicial system........and correctly so.
@Mia: No the family was not intimidated and coerced, they were just given a good financial offer and they saw it changing their future so they took it. You are nobody to judge them, it wasn't your son. Their son got murdered they pardoned the guy who did it so it is not anybody's concern anymore. ET I hope you publish my comment because ppl need to realize that this case is practically over and not worth discussing
I can not wait to get rich and pull stuff like that on this sleeping useless nation. What else can I do in this country other than enjoy exploiting it? Keep them busy with religion and afterlife rivers of milk and women.
and Musharrafs name remained in ECL ?
