A Lahore district court has reserved its verdict on the Anti-Corruption Establishment’s (ACE) plea seeking a 14-day physical remand of PTI President Chaudhry Parvez Elahi in a corruption case.

During the hearing — presided by Judicial Magistrate Ghulam Murtaza — government counsel Ghulam Salahuddin asserted that the remand was required as further investigation was needed to be conducted from Elahi.

Meanwhile, Elahi’s counsel Advocate Rana Intizar argued that none of the “fake and bogus documents” that his client had allegedly prepared were presented to the court.
