Pervaiz Elahi freed from jail after Lahore High Court order [Post# 577]

ACE ‘sorry’ for late-night raid on Parvez Elahi’s home

After the Lahore High Court (LHC) directed officials of the Anti-Corruption Establishment to apologise to PTI leader Parvez Elahi over a raid at his residence last week, ACE Additional Director General Waqasul Hassan tendered a vague apology on Thursday.

In a press conference held here, the ACE official said he was tendering an apology on the order of the high court.

“If through my words, contempt of court is committed, I apologise before everyone,” Mr Hassan said, without explicitly stating that his apology had come on court orders in connection with a raid at the residence of Mr Elahi.

The ACE and police officials had stormed the residence of the former chief minister in Lahore last week to arrest him in a corruption probe despite the claim of the latter that he had secured a pre-arrest bail from the court till May 6. Subsequently, Mr Elahi filed a contempt petition in the high court against the ACE raid.

The ACE official justified the operation at Mr Elahi’s residence, saying: “The ACE and police had to launch an operation at Mr Elahi’s residence after stones were pelted on them from inside his house.

He parried a question whether the operation was launched at Mr Elahi’s residence on the order of the government or ‘someone else’. The federal government had distanced itself from the raid the very next day.

When asked why ACE was fixated on only PTI leaders, Mr Hassan said: “Those who have committed corruption will have to face the law. However, the PML-N has already gone through their cases (in ACE).”

Imran promised to make me Punjab CM, claims Elahi
Elahi doubted chances of settlement, citing a struggle against a mindset that deems Pakistan as collapsed

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf President and former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has claimed that party Chairman Imran Khan has promised to make him the chief minister if the PTI wins in Punjab.

Talking to a media outlet in an interview here on Saturday, Pervaiz Elahi said: “I gave him [Imran] in writing a signed document on dissolving Punjab Assembly and also attached my identity card with it and told him to write the date of dissolution of the assembly himself. We respected him and he also respected us and offered me to become the central president of the party and promised me that Moonis Elahi or I will be the next chief minister of the party after the election,” he claimed.

Elahi further claimed: “We respect the real establishment, which is the backbone of the country, and we still have ideal relations with them. But today there are some intruders in it, so we cannot be with them. We have no harmony with them, so all efforts of talks are meaningless and we are not even sorry for what they are doing.”

Answering a question about the police and Anti-Corruption Establishment raid at his house, the PTI leader said the same people were behind this action who were after Imran Khan. He further said that he didn’t want to name anyone because everyone knew who they were. He further said that they were not undiscovered and said he prayed to protect Pakistan from their evil. They are real terrorists.

Elahi, without naming anyone, further claimed that he was pressured not to join the PTI. He said he was told at the time of joining the PTI, and in return, he told them that it was not their job to ask people to join or leave any political parties.

Criticising the current team of the establishment, the former chief minister said that Imran Khan does not want a fight at all. He said Imran’s fight was with Bajwa Sahib and now he has gone away, new people have come. He said the new people should have thought that the team they have brought in would sink their boat. He added that we have also gone to court against those who will depend on this team.

PTI leader rebuts Elahi’s CM slot claim

A Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader on Sunday denied there had been suggestions during meetings that PTI president Chaudhry Parvez Elahi or his son would become chief minister in case the party wins elections to the Punjab Assembly.

“This talk (if any) is between PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Chaudhry Parvez Elahi as we are unaware of this,” PTI Lahore chief Sheikh Imtiaz told Dawn. “There has been no discussion at all on this issue at our party’s meetings,” he added.

Parvez Elahi said in an interview to a news website on Saturday that Imran Khan had promised to make him or Moonis Elahi chief minister if the party won elections.

Mr Elahi also claimed that he had given in writing a signed copy of the summary on dissolving the provincial assembly, with a copy of his CNIC, to Mr Khan and asked him to write a date of his choice for the assembly’s dissolution.

The former Punjab chief minister held a press conference on Sunday where he reiterated his claims.

Sheikh Imtiaz said he had attended a meeting of the party for award of tickets for Lahore seats, but “I never heard anything about Imran Khan’s promise to Parvez Elahi about the chief minister’s slot”.

“Since our focus is on the campaign for building pressure on the government to hold elections in Punjab on May 14, there has been no discussion about the CM position so far,” he maintained.

Mr Imtiaz said PTI had given tickets to all candidates whose names were approved.

Standing with Imran Khan like a wall: Parvez Elahi

PTI President Chaudhry Pervez Elahi has reaffirmed his commitment to stand with former prime minister Imran Khan and his party “like a wall”.

“We will continue to stand with him,” he asserted. “Moonis and I are standing with Imran Khan together, but that doesn’t mean we support his narrative.”

But, Elahi contended that the army was his own institution. “I have always tried to keep good ties with the establishment and the judiciary. There are no two thoughts on it.”
 
Shortly after the cancellation of interim bail granted to former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi, a team from the Punjab Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) entered his residence to arrest him on Thursday evening.

According to details, the team sought the assistance of the police and, as a result, a large number of police personnel were present outside the residence of Elahi — who is also the central president of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).

The police have also closed the Zahoor Elahi Road for traffic.

DG Punjab ACE said that Elahi would be arrested today "at any cost" and action would be taken against him for submitting fake medical records.

He stated that a case was filed against Elahi regarding the misuse of powers and embezzlement in development funds.

Earlier in the day, an anti-corruption court issued an order to revoke the interim bail of Elahi based on non-compliance with the conditions of his bail in cases related to irregularities in development projects.

Judge Ali Raza also rejected his request for exemption from appearing in court.

Despite the expiration of interim bail period, the PTI leader did not appear in court. His lawyer, Amjad Pervez, filed a plea for exemption from court attendance on medical grounds.

The lawyer asserted that Elahi is experiencing chest pain, making it impossible for him to appear in court.

During the hearing, the prosecutor told the court that Elahi's medical records were fake. The court instructed the lawyer to present the reports, stating that the court would make a decision right away. The court directed for the medical reports to be submitted immediately.

It should be noted that during the previous hearing, the request for exemption from court attendance by Elahi was granted.

On April 28, a team from the ACE Punjab and the Lahore police conducted a raid to arrest Elahi.

The raiding teams remained on the premises of Elahi’s residence for more than three hours during which they took into custody around nine people into custody, but were unable to find Elahi.

The ACE team, led by Additional Director Waqas Hassan, along with heavy contingents of the Anti-Riot Force (ARF), raided the residence of the former Punjab chief minister in a case reportedly registered at the ACE Gujranwala.

The raid at Elahi’s residence came hours after the ACE arrested a close friend of Parvez Elahi’s son, Moonis. Also, the provincial anti-graft body booked the former chairperson of Lahore Waste Management Company (LWMC) over corruption charges.

A district court in Lahore has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for PTI President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi.

The court order, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, says that the investigating officer (IO) had requested the issuance of the warrant as he had been “avoiding arrest”.

Speaking to DawnNewsTV, he said Elahi’s Zahoor Elahi residence in Lahore had been “cordoned off” as part of the strategy to arrest him.

“He left his house in a car today, along with another car with some women. We already had the information that he would try to leave and so, his car was intercepted and [authorities] asked him them to let them search the vehicle.

“But they refused and upon resistance, police tried to break that glass on the driver’s side,” Mir added.

Parvez Elahi asks PTI to ‘stand firm’

PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has asked his party to “stand firm” and expressed hope that “this difficult time will eventually pass”.

Speaking to reporters at a district court in Lahore, he said, “We are with the truth and the right. I say to the PTI that you have to keep standing firm [and] definitely not back off.

“Stand absolutely firm. This time shall too pass,” the former Punjab chief minister added.
 
LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Pervaiz Elahi was re-arrested by the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab in a corruption case, shortly after the Lahore court discharged him in graft case, ARY News reported.

A district court in Lahore today discharged PTI President Parvez Elahi in a corruption case, a day after he was arrested from outside his residence by officials of the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE).

Judicial Magistrate Ghulam Murtaza heard the anti-corruption cases registered against Elahi in Gujranwala and Lahore. Pervaiz Elahi was produced before the Lahore court in two corruption cases wherein the anti-graft watchdog sought 14-day physical remand.
 
While Elahi is definitely a legend in my opinion but him getting rearrested and portraying him to seem like an hero makes me think Establishment is upto something!

I definitely think IK is naive to trust Elahi.

Yes. All is forgiven. Because Imran Khan is also a typical politican like Nawaz and Zardari. The whole hype about Imran Khan being change to the current leaders was just hogewash. Imran Khan is self centered full of ego whose moral principals can vary depending on if it suits him or not.

The former CM was brought to the PIC Lahore during the wee hours of Sunday night

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf President and former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was shifted back to jail from hospital on Sunday after his health was declared satisfactory.

Currently under detention in a case related to illegal appointments to the Punjab Assembly, Elahi was brought to the PIC Lahore during the wee hours of Sunday night.

The former CM was allegedly having some cardiac issues and his condition was getting unstable under custody.

He was brought under strict security arrangements and a large contingent of police was stationed outside the Punjab Institute of Cardiology.

Elahi underwent several tests, including ECG, to determine what was causing inconvenience.

After an examination spanning over hours, the authorities observed some sort of stability in his medical condition and decided to shift him to camp jail. Elahi was escorted back to jail under strict security measures.

Chaudhry Shujaat meets ‘unwell’ Parvez Elahi in jail

After meeting his cousin and PTI president Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in jail on Monday, PML-Q President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain said the former was not well and that his feet were swollen.

Mr Hussain, who visited the district jail along with his son Salik Husain, quoted Mr Elahi as saying, “Our family has seen massive difficulties in the past, too.”

Soon after the meeting, the Punjab government acted briskly and granted “better class” facilities in jail for the former chief minister who is facing a case relating to alleged illegal appointments in the Punjab Assembly.

The directive issued by the provincial home department states the order shall automatically stand cancelled when the prisoner [Parvez Elahi] is released from jail.


Speaking to media persons, Chaudhry Shujaat said he went to meet Parvez Elahi because he is a member of his family. Answering a question whether Mr Elahi would rejoin his old party, the party president said “he is already in the PML-Q”.

When reminded that Parvez Elahi is PTI president, Mr Hussain responded with a smile.

Meanwhile, Parvez Elahi’s son Moonis Elahi tweeted that his father was not being allowed to meet the lawyers and his wife. He said the IG (prisons) took the PML-Q president and his son for a meeting with incarcerated Parvez Elahi.

“Now the government will tell us that this week’s family meeting with Parvez Elahi has been carried out,” Moonis Elahi stated sarcastically.

An anti-corruption court in Lahore on Tuesday granted PTI President Parvez Elahi post-arrest bail in a case pertaining to illegal recruitments in the Punjab Assembly.

The former Punjab chief minister was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) in Gujranwala earlier this month on allegations of taking Rs15 million in bribes as the speaker of the provincial assembly for making out-of-merit appointments on grade-17 posts in the provincial assembly.

Elahi was subsequently sent to jail on judicial remand for 14 days. A day earlier, the court had reserved its verdict on the PTI president’s petition for post-arrest bail after the state prosecutor and Elahi’s lawyer Rana Intizar wrapped up their arguments.

Announcing the verdict today, Special Judge Ali Raza Awan granted the former Punjab chief minister post-arrest bail against surety bonds worth Rs1 million.
 
A Lahore district court sent PTI President Parvez Elahi to jail on 14-day judicial remand in connection with a money laundering case on Monday, shortly after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested him from outside the Camp Jail in the city.

The said case was registered against a woman identified as Saira Anwar in February wherein the suspect was accused of accumulating assets through “crime proceeds”.

In a plea submitted to the court today, the FIA alleged that Elahi handed over Rs50 million to Anwar via his frontman, Muhammad Zaman for money laundering.

to fight with evil he should make "biggest daku of Punjab" the president of his party? What message does this gives to other PTI workers when a politician from other party is adjusted in the party this way. Where is merit? Imran Khan gives big statements but in reality there is no difference between him and other politicians. This whole Malik Riaz and Tosha Khana case has completly exposed the myths about him being clean.
 
A Lahore accountability court on Tuesday remanded PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi to the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) till August 21 in a case pertaining to bribes over development project contracts.
 
ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court directed the Lahore High Court on Wednesday to decide an intra-court appeal (ICA) filed by the Punjab government on Aug 21, failing which a suspension order against the grant of protective bail by a single-judge bench to former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Parvez Elahi would stand vacated and he would be entitled to protective bail, as well as bail against blind FIRs.

The order came after a three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Ijazul Ahsan, took up the Punjab PTI chief’s plea against a decision by the LHC on July 17 to overturn a previous order in which a 10-day protective bail was granted to the petitioner with a directive to the authorities not to arrest him in any pending inquiry or in any blind or unknown FIRs.

Moved through senior counsel Barrister Syed Ali Zafar on behalf of the PTI’s Punjab president, the petition had pleaded to set aside the July 17 intra-court appeal in the interest of justice for being unconstitutional, illegal, void ab initio, and without lawful jurisdiction.

The division bench had suspended the single-judge order without a hearing, the counsel argued, adding that it was Chaudhry Parvez Elahi’s right to seek access to a court in order to get pre-arrest bails.


During the hearing, the Supreme Court wondered why the government was bent upon denying an individual’s fundamental right to approach a court for the protection of liberty.

Justice Jamal Khan Mandokhel advised the parties concerned to settle the matter through negotiations instead of approaching courts.

The counsel recalled that repeated FIRs had been registered against Parvez Elahi to ensure that he remained in custody and was unable to reach courts for pre-arrest and post-arrest bails.

It is a fundamental principle of law, the counsel asserted, that high courts grant protective bail to an accused so that the person could reach the trial court for pre-arrest bails.

Ali Zafar said that under the law, the Federal Investigation Agency and the Anti-Corruption Department cannot arrest anyone without giving an accused the right of hearing during an inquiry.

‘Blind FIRs’

He alleged that Parvez Elahi was being arrested in “blind FIRs”.

In his petition, the appellant called upon the apex court to order the authorities that the petitioner be treated with dignity, and in accordance with constitutional guarantees.

He should not be harassed or arrested in new or unknown cases, pending inquiries without a hearing or in old FIRs in which protective, anticipatory or post-arrest bail has already been granted.

“Unfortunately, the petitioner was subjected to repeated detentions and arrests upon discharge in frivolous cases in a mala fide abuse of authority,” Ali Zafar said.

Moreover, he added, legal provisions of criminal procedure, e.g. 24-hour remand, are being employed as tools to keep the petitioner perpetually detained by lodging a new FIR on the very day when the petitioner obtained protective bail, pre-arrest or anticipatory bail or post-arrest bail in a different FIR.

The petition argued that the July 17 order by the Lahore High Court was illegal, unlawful, without jurisdiction and void ab initio and therefore liable to be set aside.

“The order is arbitrary and against the well-settled principles of law, amounting to a gross miscarriage of justice for the petitioner,” Ali Zafar contended.

The petition argued that no ICA was maintainable under the Law Reforms Ordinance of 1972 against the July 13 judgement of a single-judge bench and hence the division bench lacked the jurisdiction to pass the order.

PE needs to go from the PTI. This is a drama created by his handlers to put him a position of power as IK is out of action..
 
A Lahore High Court division bench on Monday dismissed an appeal of the caretaker government of Punjab and upheld a single bench’s decision of granting protective bail to former chief minister Punjab Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi against his arrest in any undisclosed case or inquiry.

Earlier, an accountability court on Monday extended physical remand of Pervaiz Elahi till Aug 29 in a NAB case of alleged corruption in development projects in Gujrat division. Elahi’s counsel Amjad Parvez told the court that the Lahore High Court was yet to decide an appeal of the government against the bail and stay against arrest granted to his client. He said the Supreme Court had also ordered the high court to decide the appeal on Aug 21.
 
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Friday directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to release PTI President Parvez Elahi.

Justice Amjad Rafiq was hearing a petition of Elahi against his arrest in an alleged corruption case by the NAB. Announcing the verdict, the judge barred authorities from arresting the former chief minister of Punjab in any other case.

Elahi is among several PTI leaders and workers who have been arrested amid the state’s crackdown on the PTI leadership following the May 9 riots during protests over party chief Imran Khan being whisked away by paramilitary personnel at the Islamabad High Court premises.

He was first arrested on June 1 but was deprived of his freedom repeatedly and dragged in on several graft cases.

The PTI president’s most recent arrest, by the NAB on Aug 14, was in a case of allegedly receiving bribes/kickbacks in exchange for getting the “contracts of road schemes of Gujrat Highways Division awarded to favourite/hand-picked contractors”.

In an order issued in the afternoon, the court said Elahi’s custody in the NAB “is found in an unlawful manner”.

It added: “The petitioner shall not be arrested in terms mentioned therein including the NAB or any other authority/agency/office etc, nor shall be detained under any laws relating to preventive detention.”

They will have little choice. Nobody wants their kids to be locked up, beaten or worse. But when you struggle to feed them, house them and cloth them, there is little to lose.

A lot of PTI supporters were enjoying the hype, claiming to be freedom fighters. But when the time came, most are hidden, ran off to UK or elsewhere.

The only hope is for a coup within the military but they are living such a good life of wealth, why would they?

Right now, the institutions of justice in Pakistan are quite weak, and their orders are not being followed.

The concept of law seems to be non-existent in the country at this moment. If someone holds power, no one can challenge them, not even the courts. However, if they don't have power, even the courts can't protect them.

That's why corruption is not decreasing in Pakistan. This is a very regrettable situation.

The Lahore High Court (LHC) issued a show-cause notice for contempt of court to Islamabad Inspector General (IG) Dr Akbar Nasir Khan while hearing a plea for PTI President Parvez Elahi’s production in court.

On Friday, Islamabad police had re-arrested Elahi near his residence soon after the LHC had set him free with a restraining order against his possible arrest by an agency or preventive detention.

The Islamabad police had said the former chief minister, who was later moved to Attock Jail, was taken into custody under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order.

After his re-arrest on Friday, Elahi had approached the Islamabad High Court for release while his wife, Qaisara Elahi, had filed two pleas in the LHC, seeking directions for relevant authorities to present Elahi in court and contempt proceedings against Punjab police officials on grounds of “wilful disobedience”.

Taking up Qaisara’s plea for Elahi’s production in court today, LHC’s Justice Amjad Rafiq summoned Punjab IG Dr Usman Anwar and Lahore Capital City Police Office (CCPO) Bilal Siddique Kamyana.

At the outset of the hearing, the court summoned IG Anwar and the CCPO in person by 11am. However, the government lawyer sought time till 2pm.

A little after 2pm, IG Anwar appeared in court along with Punjab Advocate General (AG) Khalid Ishaq.

Addressing them, Justice said: “The purpose for summoning you is to bring facts to light.”

The Punjab IG said Islamabad police could share information about Elahi at present.

At that, the judge observed that Elahi was kept in Attock jail.

But, the IG maintained that Punjab police were unaware of Elahi’s whereabouts.

Later the court issued a notice to the Islamabad IG, seeking an explanation from him on why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him.

The high court also directed the relevant district and sessions court judge to appear before it along with Elahi.

ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday suspended the detention of PTI President Pervaiz Elahi under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) Ordinance and ordered his immediate release, ARY News reported.

Former Punjab chief minister Pervaiz Elahi has challenged his arrest under MPO in Islamabad High Court. He pleaded with the court to strike down his arrest under MPO and order his immediate release.

The PTI president had made the secretary interior, IGP Islamabad and others respondents in the plea.

IHC judge Justice Tariq Mehmood Jehangiri heard the case and ordered release orders of PTI President Elahi. The court also issued notices to respondents and sought replies in next hearing.

The IHC also ordered the former Punjab chief minister to appear before court in the next hearing and refrained him from giving statements until the next hearing.

It may be noted that Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi was rearrested by Islamabad police under 3-MPO soon after his release on the orders of Lahore High Court.

The LHC had ordered the additional registrar for security, DIG Operations, and other senior police officials to ensure that Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi returned safely to his home.
Soon after he was shifted to Islamabad, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Islamabad ordered his detention for a period of 15 days under the Pakistan Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
Elahi is among several PTI leaders who have been booked under the MPO amid the crackdown against the party in the aftermath of the May 9 riots.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on August 14 had arrested Elahi over failing to provide information to the accountability bureau in assets beyond the means case against him, his son Monis Elahi and other family members.
 
I guess its time for IHC orders to be ridiculed and made a joke out of now.
 
The back and forth on Elahi's case just shows the inconsistency and credibility of our institutions.
 
PTI President Parvez Elahi was rearrested on Tuesday once again hours after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended his detention under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) and directed his release.

Today’s arrest makes it the 10th time the PTI president has been rearrested.

The Islamabad police said that Elahi was arrested in a case registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.
The PTI shared footage of Elahi’s arrest and criticised the authorities for his latest arrest.
“Absolutely shameful how courts orders keeps getting disrespected by the fascist regime. Parvez Elahi’s crime is standing for Pakistan, crime is not leaving PTI despite massive pressure,” the PTI posted on social media platform X in its condemnation of the arrest.

The lawyer said as soon as he and Elahi sat inside their car outside the jail, “some people present there blocked our way, forcefully opened our car’s door and made me, my driver and associate step out”. Meanwhile, Elahi was “abducted” and taken away, he added.

The FIR

The first information report (FIR) against Elahi was registered at the CTD police station on March 18 on the complaint of Ramna police Station House Officer Malik Rasheed.

The case pertained to the clashes on that day between Islamabad Police and PTI workers outside the Judicial Complex.

The case was lodged under Sections 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapon), 149 (unlawful assembly), 186 (obstructing public servant in discharge of public functions), 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 380 (theft in dwelling house, etc), 395 (punishment for dacoity), 427 (mischief causing damage amounting to Rs50), 435 (mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to cause damage), 440 (mischief committed after preparation made for causing death or hurt) and 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) of the Pakistan Penal Code and Section 7 (punishment for acts of terrorism) of the Anti-Terrorism Act.

March 18’s events were marred by clashes between the police and PTI workers amid party chairman Imran Khan’s appearance at the Judicial Complex in a hearing for the Toshakhana case.

The Islamabad police had alleged that party workers had shelled the Judicial Complex and set fire to a police post. In turn, the PTI had also accused the police of shelling Imran’s vehicle.
 
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday issued a show-cause notice for contempt of court to the Islamabad Chief Commissioner (CC) Mohammad Anwarul Haq while hearing a plea for PTI President Parvez Elahi’s production in court and release.

It comes a day after the LHC had ordered the city’s CC and Inspector General (IG) Dr Akbar Nasir Khan — who had already been issued a show-cause notice on Monday — to appear before the court along with Elahi.

A day ago, the PTI president was rearrested once again hours after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) suspended his detention under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance and directed his release.

He has now been arrested at least 11 times in various cases since the start of June and after a statewide crackdown was launched against the PTI in the aftermath of the May 9 violence.

The police said Elahi was detained in a case registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.

An Islamabad anti-terrorism court (ATC) on Wednesday granted the capital police two-day physical remand of PTI President Parvez Elahi in a newly emerged terror case dating back to March 18.

Police had said Elahi was detained in a case registered at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.

Earlier today, capital police presented the PTI leader before Duty Judge Shahrukh Arjumand at the Federal Judicial Complex (FJC). Footage of his arrival appeared to show Elahi holding onto someone’s hand for support.

During the hearing, the police sought 14-day physical remand of the former Punjab chief minister while his lawyers opposed it and urged the court to discharge Elahi from the case.

However, the court rejected the lawyer’s plea and handed Elahi over to the police instead on two-day physical remand.

IHC disposes of Elahi's contempt plea against ICT authorities.

Releasing under MPO and re-arresting in fresh case are separate matters, observes court.
"If he was not released after this court's directives to release him in the MPO [Maintanance of Public Order] then it would be contempt of court," observed the judge.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) disposed of on Thursday former Punjab chief minister Pervez Elahi's petition seeking contempt of court action against the federal capital's IGP and DC.

Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri took up the plea.

During the hearing, the court observed that there was a difference between releasing Elahi and re-arresting him in some other case.

This court did not issue any orders that state that the former CM could not be arrested in any other case, remarked Justice Jahangiri, after Elahi's counsel confirmed that he was released and then re-arrested from near Police Lines.

Justice Jahangiri recalled that the IHC had issued orders to release Elahi if he was not involved in any other case. If he has been arrested in another case then this matter will proceed in the relevant trial court, he remarked.

The court reasoned that as Elahi was released in the case in which the IHC had earlier directed the authorities to do so, his re-arrest in a fresh case could not be considered contempt.

The petition was disposed of after the Islamabad authorities confirmed that the earlier IHC order was complied with and Elahi had been released in that particular case.

Courts also give this order that this person should not be arrested in any other case in the future, but it is useless that he can still be arrested by this system. There is no value of courts orders.
 
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Parvez Elahi on Friday was sent to Adiala jail on a 14-day judicial remand in the Judicial Complex attack case.

An anti-terrorism court (ATC) Judge Abul Hasnat Zulqarnain in Islamabad rejected the prosecution's request seeking 10 physical remand of the PTI leader.
During today’s hearing, Elahi was presented in court before ATC Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain. Lawyers Sardar Abdur Razzaq, Babar Awan and Ali Bukhari appeared as the PTI leaders’ counsel while Prosecutor Tahir Kazim was also present.

The prosecutor urged the court to extend Elahi’s physical remand by another 10 days while his lawyers reiterated their plea to discharge the PTI leader from the case.

Rejecting both pleas, the ATC then sent the former Punjab chief minister to Adiala Jail on 14-day judicial remand and ordered for him to be produced before the court on September 22. It also directed the investigation officer to furnish a report on the matter.

Elahi’s lawyers then filed a bail plea in the court, following which the ATC issued notices to the respondents, seeking their replies by September 11.

The lawyers also summited a hand-written request to the court, urging it to allow the PTI leader’s family to meet him and for home-cooked food to be provided to him due to medical reasons. Subsequently, Judge Hasnat approved the request.

The plea also urged the court to allow Elahi’s family to meet him in jail. “Let Parvez Elahi’s family meet him. Parvez Elahi sahib, please come forward,” Judge Hasnat said.

The former Punjab chief minister complied and said, “There is no such jail left in Punjab where I have not been sent. I also have stents in my heart.

“The Punjab chief minister is my relative but is strongly against me,” he added.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Parvez Elahi’s wife on Saturday challenged the September 6 decision of the Lahore High Court (LHC) to dispose of a plea seeking the release of her husband following his rearrest.

The LHC had disposed of a plea seeking its order for the production and release of the PTI president after terming it infructuous.

In her fresh petition in the apex court, Elahi's wife pleaded with the top court to release her husband, saying that the LHC did not examine the facts related to his arrest.

The plea also seeks SC’s restraining orders against his possible arrest in any undisclosed case registered against him.

She requested the top court to issue orders for Elahi’s production before the court. Despite the LHC’s restraining order against his possible arrest, the PTI president was rearrested under 3-MPO by the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) police shortly after being released by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and subsequently, the seasoned politician was put under house arrest in Adiala jail for the next 15 days, Elahi's wife apprised the top court.

The detention order issued for PTI President Parvez Elahi under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) ordinance has been withdrawn, the capital deputy commissioner (DC) told the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday.

The development comes a day after the Lahore High Court (LHC) issued a bailable arrest warrant for Islamabad Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dr Akbar Nisar Khan over his failure to appear before the court in a contempt case related to Elahi’s arrest.

On September 1, hours after the LHC had ordered his release in a graft case, the PTI leader had been rearrested by the Islamabad police under the MPO.

Having approached the IHC, the court had suspended Elahi’s MPO detention and ordered his release but hours later, he was again re-arrested in a terror case.

Today, Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri presided over the hearing of Elahi’s petition against his MPO detention while Islamabad DC Irfan Nawaz Memon appeared before the court.

Both DC Memon and Elahi had been ordered at the previous hearing to appear before the court today. However, Elahi could not appear before the court as he is currently incarcerated at Adiala Jail in the terror case.

At the outset of the hearing, DC Memon informed the court that the detention order against Elahi had been withdrawn, at which the IHC disposed of the PTI leader’s petition.

The IHC then directed the DC to inform the court about the FIR on the basis of which Elahi was currently in custody.

During the previous hearing, Justice Jahangiri had noted that Elahi had been detained for more than three months.

In the order, the judge had said that it had been established that the detention order had been passed without any lawful authority and was prima facie in violation of the directives issued by the LHC.

It said that the order was suspended and Elahi was ordered to be released “forthwith” if he was not required in any other case.

“The petitioner is directed to ensure that after being released from jail, he will not participate in any unlawful activity nor contribute to any activity harmful for public safety and tranquillity in society,” the order had said.

Elahi's arrest: Contempt plea against police high-ups disposed of

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday disposed of a plea filed by Qaisara Elahi, wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, seeking contempt proceedings against Punjab police DIGs of Investigations and Operations.

The plea alleged their non-compliance with a court order restraining authorities from arresting and detaining the former Punjab chief minister under any law related to preventive detention.

The court, noting the unconditional apology tendered by the respondents, observed that forgiveness and pardon, integral to Islam's justice system, played a crucial role. Justice Sultan Tanvir Ahmad, who presided over the proceedings, emphasised that contempt power is extraordinary and must be exercised with great circumspection.

"In view of the unqualified apology tendered by the respondents as well as remorse shown and their specific undertaking to be extremely careful in the future, I see no reason to proceed further with this criminal original. The matter is accordingly disposed of," Justice Sultan mentioned in his order.

Respondents, rather than challenging the petition's merits, had offered an unconditional apology, placing themselves at the court's mercy. Their counsels argued that they believed the court's order pertained to agencies operating within the province of Punjab.

The petitioner alleged willful disobedience by the respondents, arguing that their actions deliberately contravened the LHC's order. The court observed that willful disobedience required an examination of the chain of events and circumstances surrounding the conduct.

Pathetic verdict. It shows how badly and already compromised Judiciary has fallen to a point where is has no use.
 

Top cops directed not to restrain Elahi’s wife from submitting papers​


Lahore High Court Justice Ali Baqar Najafi has directed the Regional Police Officer (RPO) of Gujranwala, along with the District Police Officers (DPOs) of Gujrat and Mandi Bahauddin, to adhere strictly to legal protocols, emphasising that they must not impede Qaisara Elahi, wife of Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, from submitting nomination papers for the upcoming general elections before the relevant officers.

The directive stems from a plea filed by petitioner Qaisara Elahi in the Lahore High Court. She contends that she, her husband Pervez Elahi, and son Moonis Elahi intend to contest the forthcoming general elections scheduled for February 8. Their target constituencies include NA-69 and NA-64 for the National Assembly and PP-64 and PP-32 for the provincial assembly.

To facilitate the submission of their nomination papers, authorised individuals were appointed to represent them before the returning officers of the respective constituencies. However, Qaisara Elahi claims that these authorised individuals are facing obstruction from the Punjab police, including illegal abduction.

Highlighting the constitutional provision in Article 4, which guarantees the inalienable right of every citizen to be treated in accordance with the law, the petitioner argues that they are currently being subjected to treatment based on the preferences of individuals in power.

The petitioner has urged the court to direct police authorities to refrain from harassing, abducting, and arresting the authorised representatives of herself, her husband, and son in the process of submitting their nomination papers.
