Lahore High Court heard the petition filed against the arrest of Parvez Elahi in NAB. Justice Amjad Rafique heard the petition of Pervez Elahi.
During the hearing, Justice Amjad Rafiq said that there will be an inquiry on the arrest of Parvez Elahi, when the decision of the two-member bench was reached, then why was the physical remand extended? Lawyer Pervaiz Elahi requested the court that there is a lot of crowd outside the High Court, there is fear that the police will arrest them.
Justice Amjad Rafiq replied that we have said that we will not arrest in any case, I am also ordering the rest. Pervaiz Elahi had challenged the NAB arrest in the High Court. The court had ordered Parvez Elahi to appear before the court at ten o’clock.
NAB Lahore had written a letter to IG Punjab and others for Parvaizalhi’s security.
Earlier, a hearing was held in the Lahore High Court on the petition filed against the arrest of former Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervez Elahi by NAB. Justice Amjad Rafiq heard the request of Pervaiz Elahi.
During the hearing, the NAB prosecutor said that time should be given for a detailed response to the request of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, Justice Amjad Rafique remarked that it is fine, then we order Parvez Elahi to be deported.
The court told the NAB officials that you should apply to the Chief Justice that this application be fixed for hearing before a 2-member bench. Is the arrest of the former Chief Minister of Punjab in accordance with the law?, all the questions are to be answered in your reports.
The NAB prosecutor argued that the single bench did not give a direction not to arrest Parvaiz Elahi.
The Prosecutor General said that it is in the decisions of the Supreme Court that a two-member bench can hear the cases of NAB, a single bench cannot hear the cases of NAB, it is the work of the subordinate courts to implement the decisions of the Supreme Court. Give respite, we will submit a full detailed report to the court.
The NAB prosecutor objected to the appearance of Amjad Parvez on behalf of Parvez Elahi and said that Amjad Parvez does not have a power of attorney in this case.
The court remarked that it seems like this is a personal matter of yours. The NAB prosecutor said that Amjad Parvez himself is the special prosecutor of NAB, how can he appear?
Amjad Pervez said that I represent NAB only in specific cases. Justice Amjad Rafiq said you should start the arguments, the court is giving permission, if you want me not to hear this case, then apply to the Chief Justice.
Justice Amjad Rafiq remarked that the arrest of Parvez Elahi is in accordance with the law, when the two-member bench restored the decision of the single bench, then the decision of the single bench is upheld, the law is very clear in this regard, we have to decide now. Parvez Elahi’s arrest is legal or illegal.
Lahore High Court ordered to present former Chief Minister Punjab and PTI leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi in court at 2 pm, however NAB decided not to present Chaudhry Pervez Elahi in court.
It should be noted that Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has requested NAB to declare his arrest as illegal.

**Interview with Legal Analyst on Parvez Elahi’s Release by Lahore High Court**
**Interviewer**: Today, we’re discussing the recent developments surrounding Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s release from custody, following a ruling by the Lahore High Court. Joining us is legal analyst and political commentator, Farah Malik. Welcome, Farah.
**Farah Malik**: Thank you for having me. It’s good to be here.
**Interviewer**: The Lahore High Court ordered the release of Parvez Elahi after a petition was filed against his arrest by NAB. Could you walk us through the main points of the court’s decision?
**Farah Malik**: Absolutely. The Lahore High Court, led by Justice Amjad Rafique, conducted a hearing regarding Elahi’s arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Justice Rafique questioned the legality of extending Elahi’s physical remand when the decision of a two-member bench was pending. He emphasized the need for an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Elahi’s arrest.
**Interviewer**: What were the key arguments presented during the hearing?
**Farah Malik**: The primary argument from Elahi’s lawyer highlighted the presence of a crowd outside the courthouse, fearing further police action. Justice Rafique reassured them that there would be no arrests made during the proceedings. The NAB’s prosecutor also argued for more time to prepare a detailed response but ultimately, the court ordered Elahi’s release, indicating serious concerns about the NAB’s process and authority in this case [[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2467659/ptis-pervez-elahi-released-says-i-am-was-and-will-be-with-imran-khan)].
**Interviewer**: Beyond the legal complexities, what does this ruling signify politically for Elahi and his party, PTI?
**Farah Malik**: This ruling is significant for Elahi and the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party as it not only reinstates Elahi’s freedom but also boosts the morale of PTI supporters. Elahi’s statement post-release affirmed his allegiance to Imran Khan and the party, which is crucial in these challenging times for PTI. This could potentially galvanize their base ahead of any upcoming political activities.
**Interviewer**: How might this impact the NAB’s authority in future cases?
**Farah Malik**: The Lahore High Court’s scrutiny of NAB’s actions can set a precedent for future cases. It opens up discussions about the accountability and methods used by such agencies. If other courts follow suit, we may see stricter scrutiny on NAB’s procedures, necessitating more transparent and legally sound actions in their pursuits [[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2467659/ptis-pervez-elahi-released-says-i-am-was-and-will-be-with-imran-khan)].
**Interviewer**: Thank you, Farah, for sharing your insights on this fascinating case. It’s certainly a developing story to watch.
**Farah Malik**: Thank you for having me. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
