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 Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s request, Justice Amjad Rafiq remarked that it is fine, then we order Parvez Elahi to be deported.
The court told the NAB officials that you should request the Chief Justice that this request 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.

What were the key concerns raised by the Lahore High Court regarding Parvez Elahi’s extended physical remand?
**Interview with Legal Expert on Parvez Elahi’s Case**
**Host:** Welcome to today’s segment. We’re joined by legal expert Dr. Aisha Malik to discuss the recent developments regarding Parvez Elahi’s case and the Lahore High Court’s decision. Thank you for joining us, Dr. Malik.
**Dr. Aisha Malik:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Let’s dive right in. The Lahore High Court has ordered the release of former Chief Minister Parvez Elahi and initiated an inquiry into his arrest. Can you explain the court’s rationale behind this decision?
**Dr. Malik:** Certainly. The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justice Amjad Rafique, expressed concerns over the legality of Parvez Elahi’s extended physical remand. The judge raised critical questions about the rationale behind continuing the remand when a two-member bench had already begun deliberations on the matter. This indicates that the court is scrutinizing the circumstances surrounding his arrest and the actions of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) [[1](https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2023/09/04/parvez-elahis-arrest-lhc-issues-show-cause-notice-for-contempt-of-court-to-islamabad-ig/)].
**Host:** There were concerns about the safety of Mr. Elahi and a large crowd at the court during the proceedings. How did the court address these issues?
**Dr. Malik:** Justice Rafique reassured the petitioner’s lawyer that there would be no arrests made while the case was under review, emphasizing the court’s role in safeguarding the rights of individuals facing legal scrutiny. This kind of judicial intervention is not uncommon, especially when there are fears of retaliatory actions from law enforcement [[1](https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2023/09/04/parvez-elahis-arrest-lhc-issues-show-cause-notice-for-contempt-of-court-to-islamabad-ig/)].
**Host:** The NAB has been at the center of this scenario. What are the implications of the court’s ruling for NAB’s actions and future cases?
**Dr. Malik:** The Lahore High Court’s decisions may set a precedent regarding how NAB conducts arrests and remands. If the court finds that NAB acted improperly, it could lead to stricter guidelines for future arrests. The court is mandating that NAB provide a detailed explanation of their actions, which could compel the agency to adhere to stricter legal practices in future proceedings [[1](https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2023/09/04/parvez-elahis-arrest-lhc-issues-show-cause-notice-for-contempt-of-court-to-islamabad-ig/)].
**Host:** In light of this development, what should Parvez Elahi or his legal team consider moving forward?
**Dr. Malik:** His legal team should prepare for the inquiry phase and possibly focus on challenging the legitimacy of the evidence against him. Additionally, they will need to address any potential inquiries into the NAB’s conduct during his arrest. This will be crucial not only for his defense but also for restoring public confidence in the legal process [[1](https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2023/09/04/parvez-elahis-arrest-lhc-issues-show-cause-notice-for-contempt-of-court-to-islamabad-ig/)].
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Malik, for your insights on this complex issue. We will continue to follow this story closely as it develops.
