The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered the removal of PTI leader Parvez Elahi and two of his family members from the Passport Control List (PCL).
A single-member bench comprising Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza issued this order while hearing pleas filed by Parvez Elahi, Rasikh Elahi, and Zahra Elahi. The petitioners contended that the federal government had placed their names on the PCL in violation of relevant laws.
Meanwhile, an anti-corruption court in Punjab’s provincial capital adjourned the hearing of a case related to illegal hiring in the Punjab Assembly until July 15. This case pertains to the period when Elahi was the custodian of the house.
On Monday, the court could not indict the former speaker of the provincial assembly as he did not appear, citing ill health. Elahi’s lawyer requested the judge to grant his client a one-day exemption from personal appearance.
The court accepted the request but summoned Parvez Elahi and other accused for indictment at the next hearing. Judge Safdar Ali Bhatti also initiated proceedings to declare one of the accused, Akif Ashraf, a proclaimed offender.
