    Parvez Elahi to be placed under house arrest within 15 days

    The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has directed the Interior Ministry to complete the process of placing Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leader Chaudhry Parvez Elahi under house arrest in 15 days.

    The court approved the petition, seeking the transfer of the senior politician to a hospital or declaring his residence a sub-jail.

    The wife of the former chief minister Punjab, Qaisra Elahi, submitted a petition for the transfer of Parvez Elahi to a hospital or to declare his residence a sub-jail.

    IHC’s Justice Arbab Muhammad Tahir heard the petition and issued the order. He also directed the superintendent of Adiala jail to provide all the medical facilities to the veteran politician.

    “Parvez Elahi is not convicted. He is a 78-year-old undertrial prisoner, and medical facilities should be provided according to his satisfaction,” the court order read. It added that the politician should also be allowed to undergo a medical examination by a personal physician every week in jail.
