LAHORE: Raising objections to the robkar, the Camp Jail authorities on Wednesday refused to release former Punjab chief minister and PTI President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi who had been granted bail in money laundering case by a special banking court on Tuesday.
The officials said they had failed to understand the conditional decision given by the court; therefore they wanted it to be explained. Later, the officials filed a petition in the anti-corruption court.
Special Judge Ali Raza Awan, who heard the case, admonished the jail superintendent and the deputy superintendent, and issued a show-cause notice to them in which they were asked to explain as to why they did not release the PTI president despite court order.
The court also served a show cause on CEO Anti-Corruption Rizwan Nawaz.
The court, while expressing strong indignation, said in its remarks, “Explain why you did not release the accused despite the release order was issued.”
It should be noted that the anti-corruption court had linked Pervaiz Elahi’s bail with the decision of the Lahore High Court on an appeal for seeking the latter’s physical remand.
