**Interview with Legal Expert Dr. Sarah Khan on the Lahore High Court’s Ruling Regarding Parvez Elahi**
**Interviewer:** Good evening, Dr. Khan. Thank you for joining us today. The Lahore High Court has recently ordered the release of former Chief Minister Parvez Elahi. Can you explain the context behind this decision?
**Dr. Khan:** Good evening! Absolutely. The Lahore High Court’s decision came after hearing a petition filed by Parvez Elahi challenging his arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The Court, led by Justice Amjad Rafiq, found it necessary to examine the legality of his arrest and subsequent remand in this case, particularly since there were concerns raised about the extension of his physical remand [[1](https://www.nation.com.pk/05-Sep-2023/lhc-orders-attock-judge-to-recover-parvez-elahi-from-jail)].
**Interviewer:** During the hearing, what were some of the key concerns expressed by Elahi’s lawyer?
**Dr. Khan:** The lawyer highlighted the presence of a large crowd outside the court and the potential risk of police arresting party members amid the proceedings. This led Justice Rafiq to reassure the lawyer that no arrests would be made while the court deliberated, which reflects the court’s aim to ensure a fair judicial process without external pressure [[1](https://www.nation.com.pk/05-Sep-2023/lhc-orders-attock-judge-to-recover-parvez-elahi-from-jail)].
**Interviewer:** What will happen next regarding the NAB’s actions following this ruling?
**Dr. Khan:** Following the High Court’s order, the NAB is required to provide a detailed response to Elahi’s petition. The court has also directed NAB officials to present reports that address whether the arrest was conducted in accordance with the law. This indicates that the court is taking a critical approach to ensure accountability in the actions of the NAB [[1](https://www.nation.com.pk/05-Sep-2023/lhc-orders-attock-judge-to-recover-parvez-elahi-from-jail)].
**Interviewer:** How significant do you think this ruling is for the broader context of legal accountability in Pakistan?
**Dr. Khan:** This ruling could have significant implications. It not only addresses the specific case of Parvez Elahi but also serves as a precedent regarding the limits of NAB’s power in arresting political figures. Such decisions reinforce the judiciary’s role in ensuring that arrests do not violate fundamental rights and legal protocols, promoting a more accountable system [[1](https://www.nation.com.pk/05-Sep-2023/lhc-orders-attock-judge-to-recover-parvez-elahi-from-jail)].
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Khan, for your insights. It will be interesting to see how this situation develops.
**Dr. Khan:** Thank you for having me. I look forward to more developments in this case and its broader implications on legal reform in Pakistan.
