Lahore (News International News - 16 December 2024) The decision was reserved on the admissibility of the petition of PTI founder Imran Khan in the case related to the Prime Minister’s claim for damages. Justice Iqbal Chaudhry heard the petition of the founder PTI against the claim of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the Lahore High Court. The founder PTI has challenged the decision of the court hearing the defamation claim.
Imran Khan’s petition has taken the position that the trial court has allowed the witnesses to give written testimony in the defamation claim. This decision of the trial court is contrary to the facts. The witnesses should appear in the courtroom and testify. The court has been requested to declare the decision of the trial court null and void.
The petition has taken the position that under the law, the person filing the defamation claim has to appear in court himself for a statement.
The petitioner said that the trial court has rejected the objection of Shahbaz Sharif not appearing in person. The petition has requested that the trial court’s decision not to summon Shahbaz Sharif in person be declared null and void. Later, Justice Chaudhry Muhammad Iqbal of the Lahore High Court reserved the decision on Imran Khan’s petition being admissible. It may be recalled that earlier, PTI had challenged the trial court judge’s order to cross-examine witnesses in the Rs 10 billion damages case against PTI founder Imran Khan by Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif in the Lahore High Court. The founder of PTI had also requested that the order be declared null and void. Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif, son of Mian Muhammad Sharif, resident of 180 and 181 H Model Town, was made a party in the petition. According to the petitioner, the trial court judge had ruled to cross-examine witnesses on October 8, 2024, therefore, the trial court’s decision to cross-examine witnesses should be declared null and void.
