Accountability Court Judge Zubair Shahzad Kiyani conducted the proceedings, during which the former principal secretary to the chief minister, Muhammad Khan Bhatti, and other accused were produced after being brought from jail. During the proceedings, Parvez Elahi’s counsel submitted an exemption application and requested the court to exempt his client from personal appearance for one day due to illness, which the court accepted.
A prosecutor for the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) submitted a reply to the application filed by the accused challenging the court’s jurisdiction to hear the matter. At this, the court directed the parties to complete their arguments on the NAB’s reply by the next hearing date and adjourned further proceedings till November 12.
The NAB has accused Parvez Elahi and Moonis Elahi of receiving over Rs 1 billion as kickbacks through intermediaries in more than 200 development projects in the Gujrat district during Parvez Elahi’s second term as chief minister of Punjab.
It is worth mentioning that Moonis Elahi has already been declared a proclaimed offender in the case due to his continuous absence.
