The Islamabad High Court (IHC) orders Islamabad police to release Parvez Elahi!
IHC on Tuesday suspended the detention of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Parvez Elahi under 3-MPO (Maintenance of Public Order).
IHC Justice Tariq Mehmood Jahangiri heard the plea filled by Elahi that sought the declaration of his detention under the 3-MPO order “null and void”.
The 3-MPO order was issued by the district magistrate of Islamabad.
The Elahi’s lawyer said his client has been in jail for three months and questioned how he could possibly create a law and situation in custody.
He also read out the 3-MPO order in the court and shared that his client has not issued any statement in the last four months.
The counsel said that Parvez Elahi has no case registered against him in Islamabad and he was discharged from the anti-corruption case.
He added that the senior politician’s arrest in the corruption case by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was also declared illegal by the Lahore High Court.
