Pervaiz Elahi can’t be produced due to poor health: Court told

Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, who had been taken into custody in connection with a money laundering case, was unable to appear in the FIA Central Court on Monday.

The FIA Central Court heard the case of money laundering against Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and his son, Moonis Elahi.

The officials from Adiala Jail presented a medical report regarding the health of the PTI President in the court. According to the medical report, Mr. Elahi's health was not in a condition suitable for a long-distance journey from Rawalpindi to Lahore to attend the court hearing.

It also informed the court that the health of Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi was poor, and therefore, he could not be produced before it.

Despite the court's earlier orders to produce him on Monday, they issued summonses to jail officials for a future appearance.
