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.

How could the Lahore High Court’s ruling impact future accountability proceedings against political figures in Pakistan?
### Interview with Legal Expert on the Lahore High Court’s Order Regarding Parvez Elahi
**Host:** Welcome to our show. Today, we have legal expert Dr. Ayesha Malik joining us to discuss the recent developments surrounding the former Chief Minister of Punjab, Chaudhry Parvez Elahi, and his arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Thank you for being here, Dr. Malik.
**Dr. Malik:** Thank you for having me.
**Host:** Let’s start with the Lahore High Court’s recent decision to order Parvez Elahi’s release. Can you explain the context behind this ruling?
**Dr. Malik:** Certainly! The Lahore High Court, led by Justice Amjad Rafiq, heard a petition from Parvez Elahi challenging his arrest by the NAB. The court raised important questions about the legality of the arrest and why the physical remand was extended by local authorities, especially since a decision on his case was already being deliberated by a two-member bench. Justice Rafiq assured that there should be an inquiry into these actions [[1](https://www.dawn.com/news/1773448)].
**Host:** That sounds quite significant. During the hearing, what concerns were raised regarding the safety of Elahi and his supporters?
**Dr. Malik:** Elahi’s lawyer expressed concerns about the large crowds outside the court and the possibility of his client being re-arrested by the police amid the chaos. In response, Justice Rafiq emphasized that they would honor their word not to allow any arrests outside the court premises, thus assuring Elahi and his supporters that there would be no immediate danger [[1](https://www.dawn.com/news/1773448)].
**Host:** There seems to be a procedural aspect to this case that could impact future NAB actions. What does the court’s directive imply for the NAB regarding their conduct?
**Dr. Malik:** The court’s comments imply a need for the NAB to follow legal procedures diligently. Justice Rafiq instructed the NAB to seek clarification from the Chief Justice to have the case heard before a two-member bench, emphasizing that all questions regarding the legality of the arrest must be documented and answered properly. This holds NAB accountable for their actions and may affect how they approach similar arrests in the future [[1](https://www.dawn.com/news/1773448)].
**Host:** It’s interesting to see how the judicial system is holding the NAB accountable. Do you think this ruling could embolden other political figures facing similar situations?
**Dr. Malik:** Absolutely. This ruling can set a precedent for future cases where political figures challenge their arrests. It demonstrates that the judiciary is willing to scrutinize the actions of investigatory bodies like NAB, which could encourage others to stand up for their rights in the face of what they perceive as illegal detentions [[1](https://www.dawn.com/news/1773448)].
**Host:** Thank you, Dr. Malik, for your insights on this complex legal situation. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds in future hearings.
**Dr. Malik:** Thank you for having me. It’s an important issue that deserves close attention.
