The medical report presented by the authorities at Adiala Jail outlined that Chaudhry Pervez Elahi is currently unwell, rendering him unable to attend court proceedings. Furthermore, the report indicated that due to his medical condition, the PTI leader is unable to undertake any travel.
Today’s hearing was scheduled for the indictment proceedings, wherein the accused, Chaudhry Pervez Elahi, was required to appear before the court. However, with the presentation of the medical certificate indicating his inability to attend court, the indictment proceedings were postponed.
