While, The change happened after a local court in Lahore ordered the PTI president to freed on bail in a case of money laundering brought against him by the FIA.
Moreover, In a plea to the LHC on Monday, Elahi’s lawyer, Amir Saeed, said that his arrest order against the court’s decision to let him go.
“…[I have] no other good way to solve this problem under the law except to use the constitutional jurisdiction of this Honourable Court,” the plea said.
Elahi asked the court to take his case and say that the government’s arrest order was “illegal, void, against the law, and has no legal effect.”
He also asked the court to tell the caretaker Punjab government, the home secretary, and the Punjab inspector-general of prisons to take action against SP prisons for district bars.
