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 legal precedents could be set by the Lahore High Court’s ruling on Parvez Elahi’s case?
**Interview with Legal Expert on the Recent Court Ruling for Parvez Elahi**
**Interviewer:** Welcome to our program. Today, we’re discussing the recent ruling by the Lahore High Court regarding Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s release. Joining me is legal expert Farah Khan. Thank you for being here, Farah.
**Farah Khan:** Thank you for having me.
**Interviewer:** Let’s start with the basics. What led to the Lahore High Court’s decision to release Parvez Elahi?
**Farah Khan:** The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justice Amjad Rafiq, heard a petition challenging the legality of Elahi’s arrest by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). During the hearing, Justice Rafiq expressed concerns about the extended physical remand of Elahi, questioning its legal basis. Ultimately, the court found grounds to order his release while an inquiry into the circumstances of his arrest is conducted.
**Interviewer:** That’s interesting. What were the specific concerns raised by the court during the hearing?
**Farah Khan:** Justice Rafiq highlighted the need for clarity on why Elahi’s physical remand was extended. He also reassured Elahi’s legal team that there would be no arrests while the case is under consideration, underscoring the protection of his rights during this process. The court ordered that all inquiries related to his arrest must be addressed legally [[1](https://www.geo.tv/latest/545246-pti-president-parvez-elahi-released-from-kot-lakhpat-jail-after-months-long-imprisonment)].
**Interviewer:** There were reports of a large crowd outside the court during these proceedings. How did that factor into the case?
**Farah Khan:** Yes, indeed. The legal team for Elahi expressed concerns about potential police action against supporters gathered outside the court. This heightened tension likely played a role in the court’s decision to ensure that Elahi would not face further arrest as they processed the legalities of his case [[1](https://www.geo.tv/latest/545246-pti-president-parvez-elahi-released-from-kot-lakhpat-jail-after-months-long-imprisonment)].
**Interviewer:** The NAB prosecutor requested more time to respond to Elahi’s petition. How does this impact the ongoing legal proceedings?
**Farah Khan:** That’s an interesting point. While the NAB sought more time to prepare their case, the court essentially accelerated the process by ordering Elahi’s release. The judge demanded a thorough investigation into whether the NAB’s actions were in accordance with legal standards, which suggests that the court is prioritizing upholding due process and the rule of law [[1](https://www.geo.tv/latest/545246-pti-president-parvez-elahi-released-from-kot-lakhpat-jail-after-months-long-imprisonment)].
**Interviewer:** What can we expect next in this legal saga for Parvez Elahi?
**Farah Khan:** Moving forward, we can expect the NAB to respond to the court’s instructions and possibly present their case regarding Elahi’s arrest. Additionally, as the inquiry progresses, we may see further legal arguments around the broader implications of this case for accountability processes in Pakistan. It could set important precedents regarding the powers of bodies like the NAB and individual rights under the law [[1](https://www.geo.tv/latest/545246-pti-president-parvez-elahi-released-from-kot-lakhpat-jail-after-months-long-imprisonment)].
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Farah, for your insights on this developing story. It seems there are still many questions to be answered as this case unfolds.
**Farah Khan:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. It will be interesting to see how this impacts not only Parvez Elahi’s future but also the legal landscape in Pakistan regarding accountability.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, and we’ll continue to follow this story closely.
