LAHORE: The anti-corruption court in Lahore has summoned former Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and other accused individuals for indictment in the illegal recruitment case within the Punjab Assembly.

Judge Arshad Hussain Bhutta of Lahore’s anti-corruption court has issued a written judgment from the previous hearing.

Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi and the other accused are required to appear for indictment on April 4. The written verdict from the court mentioned that the central jail in Rawalpindi has submitted medical reports for Pervaiz Elahi, which indicated that the PTI leader fractured his ribs after slipping on the washroom floor on March 17.

According to the court judgment, the medical officer recommended two weeks of rest for the former chief minister. As a result, Elahi was unable to appear before the court, and an indictment could not be imposed.
