A
Lahore High
Court (LHC) division bench on Monday dismissed an appeal, file
d by the Punjab government, against a single bench order that stopped the authorities concerned from arresting former chief minister Punjab C
haudhry Parvez Elahi in any undisclosed cases, besides granting him protective bail in two cases.
The division bench, headed by Justice Muhammad Waheed Khan announced the reserved verdict on the intra-court appeal of the Punjab government
and upheld the order of the single bench. Earlier, the bench had reserved the verdict, after hearing arguments of all parties.
It is pertinent to mention here that an LHC single bench had stopped the authorities concerned from arresting C
haudhry Parvez Elahi in any undisclosed cases and also granted him protective bail in two cases registered at Anti-Corruption Establishment Gujrat and Ghalib Market Police Station,
Lahore.
However, an LHC division bench suspended the single bench order on the appeal, file
d by the Punjab government on July 17.
C
haudhry Parvez Elahi challenged the division bench order before the Supreme Court, who had directed the LHC division bench to decide the matter till August 21.
