The Lahore High Court ordered the release of Parvez Elahi. 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 NAB cases, a single bench can hear NAB cases. Can’t hear, implementing the decisions of the Supreme Court is the work of the subordinate courts, the court should give us respite, we will submit a complete detailed report in the court. Will present.
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 Ruling on Parvez Elahi
**Interviewer**: Thank you for joining us today. We are discussing the recent order from the Lahore High Court regarding Parvez Elahi, the former Chief Minister of Punjab. Can you explain the context of this ruling?
**Legal Expert**: Absolutely. The Lahore High Court, presided over by Justice Amjad Rafique, heard a petition challenging the arrest of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). The court has temporarily ordered the removal of his name from the no-fly list and has called for an inquiry regarding the legality of his detention[[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2498432/lhc-orders-removal-of-parvez-elahis-name-from-no-fly-list)].
**Interviewer**: What were the main concerns expressed during the hearing?
**Legal Expert**: During the proceedings, Parvez Elahi’s lawyer raised concerns about a significant crowd outside the court and the possibility of police detaining them. Justice Rafique responded with clear assurances, stating that there would be no arrests in the case and emphasizing the need for due process[[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2498432/lhc-orders-removal-of-parvez-elahis-name-from-no-fly-list)].
**Interviewer**: How did the NAB respond to the court’s inquiries?
**Legal Expert**: The NAB prosecutor requested additional time to prepare a detailed response to Elahi’s petition, which suggests they were not fully prepared to address the legal questions posed by the bench. Justice Rafique stressed the importance of assessing whether the arrest was lawful[[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2498432/lhc-orders-removal-of-parvez-elahis-name-from-no-fly-list)].
**Interviewer**: What implications does this ruling have for Parvez Elahi moving forward?
**Legal Expert**: This ruling is significant for Elahi, as it not only enables him to travel freely but also preserves his rights against what could be deemed an unlawful detention. If the court finds that the NAB’s actions were improper, it could set a precedent for future cases where individuals feel their arrests are politically motivated or unjust[[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2498432/lhc-orders-removal-of-parvez-elahis-name-from-no-fly-list)].
**Interviewer**: In light of this ruling, what should we expect in terms of the legal proceedings that follow?
**Legal Expert**: The next steps will likely include a thorough examination of the NAB’s actions by the Lahore High Court. The court has indicated that they are prepared to scrutinize the claims of legal overreach by the NAB, and we can expect further hearings to delve into the specific nature of Elahi’s arrest and the grounds for any charges that may arise[[1](https://tribune.com.pk/story/2498432/lhc-orders-removal-of-parvez-elahis-name-from-no-fly-list)].
