An anti-corruption court in Gujrat has granted interim bail to Chaudhry Parvez Elahi till May 23 in multiple corruption cases.
The former Punjab chief minister had filed an application for interim bail in two different anti-corruption cases.
The cases have been registered against Parvez Elahi in Gujrat and Gujranwala. In both the cases, the PTI president is alleged to have taken kickbacks in development schemes.
‘PML-N’s real face exposed’
Talking to the media outside the Gujrat court, Elahi said Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has exposed the real face of the PML-N before the people in parliament on Tuesday.
“These people are lying and defaming the higher judiciary,” the PTI leader stated.
Legislative houses do not seem to have anything to do with ground realities, Elahi claimed, adding the party leadership is well aware of what the government is doing.
Contempt plea
During the hearing on Elahi’s contempt of court petition against the raid at his residence despite protective bail, the public prosecutor said bail had not been granted in FIR number seven.
Anti-Corruption Additional DG Waqas Hasan appeared in court.
The police and anti-corruption took action to make the arrest in FIR number seven, the prosecutor further said, at which Justice Sheikh asked if the authorities had a search warrant to raid the house.
“We don’t have the search warrant yet,” the counsel replied.
The court directed the anti-corruption additional director and others to submit their replies again tomorrow, and also summoned them in person.
