An accountability court in Lahore on Saturday handed over former Punjab chief minister and PTI President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi to the National Accountability Court on an 8-day physical remand in the Rs250 million corruption case in Gujrat development schemes, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

The court ordered to produce Elahi again on August 29.

NAB prosecutor Waris Janjua requested the court to extend the physical remand of the PTI leader.

Elahi's lawyer Amjad Pervaiz opposed the NAB’s plea. He said that they have challenged the repeated arrests of Pervaiz Elahi in the High Court and the Supreme Court.

He said so far, the decision of the High Court and the Supreme Court has not come. He said if the NAB officials are asking for physical remand, his client should be remanded into NAB custody for only a few days. He requested the court to issue order for Pervaiz Elahi’s meeting with his family members.

At this point, Elahi came to the rostrum. He said his feet are swollen and he is very ill. He said he needed treatment.

However, the court handed over former chief minister Ch Pervaiz Elahi to the NAB on physical remand and ordered the anti-graft body to produce him in the court on Aug 29.

The court later accepted the request of Pervaiz Elahi’s request to provide the former Punjab chief minister his personal doctor and a meeting with his family.
