A High Court Judge in the United Kingdom has throw out the allegations of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf activists Shayan Ali and Adil Raja and ordered Adil Raja to pay £10,000 to the retired brigadier, an appellant in the case.
Regardless of what Mahtab Anwar Aziz, counsel for Adil Raja, contended before the court, the judge also dismissed his application for a stay, for security of costs etc; while granting stay of the defamation case moved by a retired Pakistani brigadier against Adil Raja.
According to media reports on Tuesday, both Shayan Ali, Adil Raja tried to mislead the court and their lawyer Mahtab Aziz failed to convince the judge who noted that he had no such evidence before him and he was not convinced by ‘the wild claims made as a last-ditch effort’ to scuttle the proceeding.—APP
