Express April 25, 2011

LAHORE: The Banking Court of Lahore rejected Pakistan Muslim League –Quaid (PML-Q) leader Moonis Elahi 's bail application on Monday.

Moonis is presently under house arrest where he filed a bail plea on medical grounds that he was unfit to endure house arrest.

Moonis was brought to the Punjab Institute of Cardiology for a medical check-up under high security on the direction of the home secretary.

Dr. Azhar of the PIC medically examined Moonis Elahi and referred him for further tests.

On the bases of further medical investigations by PIC at the behest of the Banking Court he was not found to be medically unfit.

Moonis, son of former chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, has been confined in the National Database and Registration Authority rest house under judicial remand since March 17, when the Punjab Government declared it a sub jail.

Sources said that two cases have been registered in the Banking Court by FIA in which the accused, Moonis Elahi, allegedly used his bank accounts for the illegal transfer of funds in the NICL scam.

Logical Fools | 13 years ago | Reply In the land that punishes the poor i am rather surprised that the judiciary has taken to rejecting the bail of Monis Elahi. One cannot feel sorry for Monis and he rightly deserves to stand trial even if he is innocent. How conveniently he decided to leave the country when the going got tough. Its about time such trials take place and get decided. The judiciary itself is no saint and one wonders what on earth we have done to deserve the worst of the worst in our lifetime.

Sid | 13 years ago | Reply Same old formula of being examined by doctors.. who knows about this moooooooonis. Pathetic person..no self respect no conscience.

Mastuj | 13 years ago | Reply All corrupt. They can go to hell.

Syed Mashud Ali | 13 years ago | Reply @Billoo Bhaya I always found u so negative about Moonis Elahi. Anyways it is your own thinking and I am not agree with u. The Doctor who referred him for medical check is provided by Government of Punjab and what is wrong in it that he went for check up. His case is in court and he is the only Pakistani Politician who is facing the trial with courage.

Billoo Bhaya | 13 years ago | Reply Its time for him to be released. Dad and uncle have already signed a deal with Zardari so he could go from jail to CM House. From Zero to Hero. That's how politicians are manufactured in Pakistan.
