  • SC rejects Imran Khan’s plea in defamation case
  • Lahore High Court (LHC) also dismissed Imran Khan’s plea
  • Shahbaz Sharif filed a defamation lawsuit against PTI chief

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan has rejected the plea by PTI leader Imran Khan against terminating his right to defence in a defamation case filed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

A three-member bench headed by justice Mansoor Ali Shah heard the case. Two judges of the SC Lahore registry disposed of PTI chief Imran Khan’s plea.

Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) also dismissed Imran Khan’s plea against terminating his right.

It is pertinent to note here that five years back, Shahbaz Sharif filed an Rs10 billion defamation lawsuit against PTI chief Imran Khan for accusing him of offering a bribe to stay silent over the Panama Papers allegations against the Sharif family.

Shehbaz Sharif’s lawyer Mustafa Ramde argued that 26 dates were taken instead of filing the reply on behalf of Imran Khan. The request for inspection of the claim was rejected, which was not even challenged in the appeal.
