The Rawalpindi court rejected the plea to declare Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah as an advertisement.
On Monday, Senior Civil Judge Ghulam Akbar heard the petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab.
The judge ordered the authorities to arrest Sanaullah and produce him in court.
The ACE official told the court that if the Islamabad police provided assistance, their team would go to the interior ministry to arrest Sanaullah.
However, the court rejected the request of Punjab ACE to declare the interior minister as an advertisement.
Fazil Judge remarked that Rana Sanaullah cannot be called an advertiser yet.
Two days ago, the Rawalpindi Special Magistrate’s Court issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah.
Sanaullah’s warrants have been issued for his non-appearance in the anti-corruption inquiry despite being summoned several times.
The minister is alleged to have bought two farmhouses in the Bismillah housing scheme in Kallar Kahar at a price below the fixed rate.
A spokesman for Punjab ACE had claimed that “both the plots were given to Sanaullah’s wife as a bribe”.
