LAHORE (Dunya News) – The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday adjourned hearing of the contempt of court proceedings against police higher-ups in the case of arrest of former chief minister Parvez Elahi till Nov 16.
Justice Sultan Tanvir is hearing a contempt of court petition filed by the wife of Parvez Elahi against the DIG operations and other senior police officers.
Only DIG Imran Kishwar appeared before the court today (Monday).
The court adjourned the hearing when a junior lawyer of Mr Elahi's legal team informed that his senior could not reach the high court.
It may be recalled that Ms Qaisara Elahi, the wife of Mr Elahi, had filed the contempt of court petition seeking action against police officers who failed to carry out the LHC order which barred the force from arresting her husband after granting him bail.
