Babar Awan to represent Imran Khan against ex-CJ

[Saifullah Sani]

Former law minister and Senator Dr Babar Awan on Thursday submitted his license in order to represent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan in defamation suit filed by former Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

District and sessions Judge Nazir Ahmad heard the case proceedings when Iftikhar Chaudhry’s lawyer, Sheikh Ahsan, objected stating that former CJ suspended Awan’s practice license so he might hold a grudge against the plaintiff.

Babar Awan stated that the case will bring a lot of details to light adding that Imran Khan had to take it to the streets to protest against the blatant injustice. Both the lawyers also exchanged verbal blows during the argument.

Judge Nazir Ahmad remarked that court will pass the judgment without any pressure. Court ordered Imran Khan to submit response pertaining to the defamation suit in the next hearing and directed Iftikhar Chaudry’s lawyer to provide rationale of the objections pointed at Babar Awan.

Case hearing was adjourned till February 14.

Earlier, Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry had submit a Rs20 billion defamation suit against Imran Khan. Khan had accused that ex-CJP was involved in rigging in 2013 general election.

The defamation notice has been submitted against Khan for maligning the top judiciary of the country and bringing the former judge to disrepute.

Meanwhile, the court had issued a notice to Khan and summoned him on January 29.
