LHC issues contempt notice to Islamabad chief commissioner <\/strong><\/p>\nEarlier today, the Lahore High Court (LHC) issued a contempt of court notice to Islamabad’s chief commissioner expressing its displeasure for not complying with the high court\u2019s orders of presenting Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi before the court.<\/p>\n
During today\u2019s hearing on the high court\u2019s contempt, City Police Officer (CPO) Rawalpindi Syed Khalid Hamdani, Superintendent District Jail Attock Arif Shahzad, District Police Officer (DPO) Attock Sardar Ghayas Gul Khan, and other officials including Punjab Government\u2019s Additional Advocate General Ghulam Sarwar Nihang were present in the court. Advocate General Islamabad was also present in the LHC.<\/p>\n
Expressing his displeasure for not presenting former Punjab chief minister, LHC Justice Mirza Viqas Rauf questioned how the court\u2019s order be ignored.<\/p>\n
Elahi\u2019s lawyer implored that the court\u2019s orders were not implemented, to which the court said that ignoring the court\u2019s orders was a separate issue.<\/p>\n
The LHC remarked that despite the court order, Islamabad police arrested the former Punjab chief minister. The court asked Islamabad’s advocate general what was his position on the court order as it was very clear but Elahi was arrested and transferred to Attock Jail.<\/p>\n
\u201cParvez Elahi is being kept in Police Lines due to security reasons. It is difficult to bring him here,\u201d the advocate general responded.<\/p>\n
The LHC asked why there was no difficulty in taking him from the court. \u201cPresenting Parvez Elahi [before court] should not be a matter of anyone\u2019s ego,\u201d the court added.<\/p>\n
The LHC remarked that the Islamabad chief commissioner violated this court\u2019s order therefore a contempt of court notice was being issued.<\/p>\n
\u201cResponse should be submitted within 7 days,\u201d the high court directed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
