Ali Zafar shares copy of court order dismissing Meesha’s case

Ali Zafar vowed to prove in the eyes of people, with evidence, how Meesha lied.

Lahore (Pakistan Point News – 28th April, 2019) Singer cum actor Ali Zafar had claimed that Meesha Shafi’s case has been dismissed against him.

While people were rejecting the claim, Ali Zafar shared the copy of court order that rejected Meesha Shafi’s appeal.

The order read, “The agreement (between Meesha and Ali) including its exclusion clause 6.11, were agreed to and signed by the parties with free will, knowledge and consent, and it must be interpreted as discernible…The case law relied upon by the Representationist on the nature of employment concerns with law relating to industrial relations and employee old age benefits. As such, the cited judgments of superior courts are clearly distinguishable and not attracted to facts of present case.”

“It should be kept in view that proceedings under the Act are quasi-criminal in nature and standard of interpretation of a penal statute is different from that of a civil law. Consequently, the Ombudsperson has rightly declined to entertain the complaint filed before her by the Representationist,” the order further read.

Ali Zafar's lawyer Ambreen Qureshi had shared this order.

Sharing the court order on Twitter, Ali Zafar wrote, “Here’s the copy of Meesha’s case dismissal exonerating me in the eyes of the law.”

Ali Zafar further vowed to prove in the eyes of people, with evidence, how she lied. “I will also expose the most heinous social media campaign against me that you may ever seen. #FaceTheCourtMeeshaShafi” he wrote.

Meesha Shafi had alleged her colleague Ali Zafar of sexual harassment in a tweet in June, 2018.

Using the #Metoo hashtag, Shafi added that it is not easy to speak out but it is harder to stay silent. “My conscience will not allow it anymore,” she added.

Meesha had filed a complaint against Ali Zafar under the Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2010 while Ali Zafar had also sent a legal notice to co-artist Meesha Shafi for her allegations.

The Teefa in Trouble star had filed a defamation suit in a court in Lahore through his lawyer, asking for an apology from Meesha Shafi for levelling baseless allegations and pay Rs1 billion in damages.

In his petition in Sessions Court, Ali Zafar stated that the statement filed by Meesha Shafi is full of contradictions related to the dates and sequence of events.

Later, Meesha Shafi approached the Supreme Court against high court decision over her conflict with singer Ali Zafar.

The case is currently under proceeding.
