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. Parvez 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 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.

**Interview with Legal Expert on the Lahore High Court’s Decision Regarding Parvez Elahi**
**Interviewer**: Today, we’re discussing the recent ruling from the Lahore High Court concerning former Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi. We have with us legal expert Dr. Sara Khan, who will help us unpack this significant case. Dr. Khan, thank you for joining us.
**Dr. Sara Khan**: Thank you for having me.
**Interviewer**: The Lahore High Court dismissed the NAB’s appeal against Parvez Elahi’s bail. Can you elaborate on the court’s reasoning during the hearings?
**Dr. Khan**: Certainly. Justice Amjad Rafique, who presided over the case, noted the lack of legal grounds for the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) extended physical remand of Elahi. He raised critical questions on why the remand was prolonged without proper justification. The judge highlighted that an inquiry into the legality of Elahi’s arrest was necessary, making it clear that the NAB did not follow due process.
**Interviewer**: It seems there was a significant atmosphere of tension outside the court. Can you tell us more about that?
**Dr. Khan**: Yes, during the hearings, there were fears expressed by Elahi’s lawyer regarding potential unrest and police action outside the court. The court acknowledged these concerns and assured that no arrests would be made in connection with this case during the proceedings. This indicates the court’s awareness of the political sensitivities involved and the high public interest in this matter.
**Interviewer**: The NAB argued that they needed more time to respond to Elahi’s petition. How did the court handle that?
**Dr. Khan**: The court granted the NAB’s request for additional time to prepare their response but firmly directed that Parvez Elahi should not face arrest in the interim. Justice Rafique made it clear that the court would uphold its orders and that all procedural questions must be answered by the NAB officials regarding the legality of Elahi’s detention.
**Interviewer**: What does this ruling imply for future cases involving the NAB and political figures, in your opinion?
**Dr. Khan**: This ruling sets a precedent in asserting judicial oversight over NAB’s actions, particularly concerning political figures. It underlines the necessity for accountability and adherence to legal standards in the arrest and detention processes. Moving forward, we might see increased scrutiny over how NAB conducts its investigations, especially in politically charged cases.
**Interviewer**: Thank you for your insights, Dr. Khan. This case certainly highlights the intersection of law and politics in Pakistan today.
**Dr. Khan**: Thank you. It’s a critical time for Pakistani politics, and the legal battles ahead will likely shape the landscape significantly.
**Interviewer**: That’s all for today. We appreciate your perspective on this important issue and look forward to more developments in this case.
