The petitioner has contended that the individuals should face the contempt of court proceedings for re-arresting Parvez Elahi shortly after his release from custody.

The application has sought to initiate contempt of court proceedings against the implicated parties by summoning them to appear before the court.

Furthermore, it has been requested that the court consider punitive measures under the Contempt of Court Ordinance against the respondents for their alleged defiance of the court order.

Additionally, a contempt of court plea has already been filed against the Islamabad Police Inspector General and the Islamabad deputy commissioner.
