LAHORE: Justice Shakil Ahmad of the Lahore High Court on Monday referred to the chief justice a petition of jailed PTI president Parvez Elahi, seeking details of cases against him.

Earlier, a government law officer asked the court to dismiss the petition, saying the details of the cases against the petitioner had already been furnished in a previous litigation.

A lawyer for Mr Elahi stated that Justice Amjad Rafiq had previously heard a similar petition by the petitioner. He requested the court to transfer the petition to the same judge.

Justice Ahmad allowed the request and sent the petition to the chief justice for its hearing by Justice Rafiq.
