Supreme Court takes up plea against Parvez Elahi's detention next Friday
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - The petition filed by former Punjab chief minister Parvez Elahi's spouse with the Supreme Court, seeking to declare the detention of her husband illegal, has been fixed for hearing.
According to reports, a three-member bench, led by Justice Sardar Tariq, will conduct the hearing on next Friday, Oct 6. Justice Mansoor Ali Shah and Justice Musarat Hilali are the other two members of the bench.
Qaisara Elahi had approached the apex court against a decision of the Lahore High Court.
The LHC had dismissed her plea for the recovery of her husband as ineffective.

Two days ago, the Lahore High Court had reserved its decision on a petition against the discharge of former chief minister Parvez Elahi in anti-corruption cases.
The former Punjab chief minister is currently in custody of the Islamabad police in a terrorism case registered against him on Sept 3. He was arrested shortly after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ordered his release by suspending his detention under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO).
The PTI leader’s wife has also requested the apex court to stop the authorities from arresting Parvez Elahi in any undisclosed case.
