The Court judge in Pakistan history ayesha malik chief justice | ayesha malik twitter | ayesha malik facebook”>Lahore High Court ordered the release of Parvez Elahi. 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.

How does the Lahore High Court’s ruling reflect the current political tensions in Punjab?
**Interview with Legal Expert on the Lahore High Court’s Ruling on Parvez Elahi**
**Host**: Welcome to our program. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Ayesha Malik, a renowned legal expert and professor of law, to discuss the recent Lahore High Court ruling regarding the release of former Chief Minister Parvez Elahi from NAB custody. Dr. Malik, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Malik**: Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
**Host**: Let’s dive right into it. Can you summarize the main points of the Lahore High Court’s ruling about Parvez Elahi?
**Dr. Malik**: Certainly. The Lahore High Court, presided by Justice Amjad Rafiq, ordered the release of Parvez Elahi, who had been arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The court emphasized the necessity of a legal inquiry into the reasons for Elahi’s arrest and questioned why his physical remand was extended when the two-member bench had already intervened [[1](https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1207860-lhc-orders-removing-elahi-family-names-from-pcl)].
**Host**: The court also expressed concerns regarding the security of Elahi and the crowd outside the courthouse. What does this imply about the current political climate in Punjab?
**Dr. Malik**: The concerns raised by Justice Rafiq highlight the volatile political atmosphere in Punjab. There is evidently significant public interest and emotions surrounding the case, which can lead to potential unrest. The court’s acknowledgment of the crowd’s presence indicates a fear of possible violent confrontations or unlawful arrests, emphasizing the delicate balance the judiciary must maintain amid such tensions [[1](https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1207860-lhc-orders-removing-elahi-family-names-from-pcl)].
**Host**: The NAB prosecutor requested more time to respond to Elahi’s challenge against his arrest. How does the court typically handle such requests?
**Dr. Malik**: In cases like this, the court often grants reasonable time for the prosecution to prepare a detailed response. However, the court also has the authority to expedite proceedings, particularly if there’s a concern about the legality of the arrest or the rights of the individual involved. Justice Rafiq made it clear that further legal scrutiny was necessary before proceeding with any additional actions regarding Elahi’s custody [[1](https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1207860-lhc-orders-removing-elahi-family-names-from-pcl)].
**Host**: What are the next steps for Parvez Elahi following this ruling?
**Dr. Malik**: Following the court’s decision, Elahi is expected to be released, pending any further legal developments. The court has directed NAB to formally address the questions regarding the legality of his arrest, indicating that they will need to justify their actions clearly. The case will likely be revisited in a more comprehensive legal framework, potentially involving a two-member bench [[1](https://www.thenews.com.pk/print/1207860-lhc-orders-removing-elahi-family-names-from-pcl)].
**Host**: Thank you, Dr. Malik, for your insights into this complex legal case. It will be interesting to see how this situation evolves.
**Dr. Malik**: Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this important issue. I look forward to the developments.
**Host**: That wraps up our interview today. Thank you to our audience for tuning in. Stay updated for more news on this and other legal matters.
