Imran Khan flies to UK without submitting reply in the court

Lahore : A local civil court today heard an application of Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif filed for Rs. 10 billion as compensation against PTI Chairman Imran Khan on leveling baseless allegation of offering billions of rupees in Panama Papers.

No reply was submitted by Imran Khan in the court, upon which, the court again issued a legal notice to Imran Khan and sought reply by September 25.

The judge of civil court Lahore Azfar Sultan conducted hearing on the application of damages filed by Shehbaz Sharif.

The petitioner is of the stance that Imran Khan has leveled baseless charge against Shahbaz Sharif of offering Rs. 10 billion on behalf of Shahbaz Sharif over the issue of Panama papers and that Imran Khan misled the nation by leveling accusation against Shahbaz Sharif and indulged in character assassination of Shehbaz Sharif for achieving his political interests.

The claimant has requested that the court should issue decree of 10 billion rupees damages against Imran Khan on Shahbaz Sharif’s character assassination.
