Pak ex-CJ slaps Rs 20 bn defamation suit on Imran
25 July 2014 11:44 PM GMT
Khan, chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party (PTI), had said that Chaudhry as chief justice of Pakistan failed to stop rigging in the general election of 2013 and thus indirectly helped his rivals to win the polls.
The notice was issued against Khan by the lawyers of Chaudhry for maligning the top judiciary of the country and bringing the former judge to disrepute.
‘I claim from you in damages a token sum of Rs 15 billion only and another Rs 5 billion only as damages for mental agonies, torture, harassment, humiliation, etc, caused to me as well as my family,’ said the former top judge in the notice.
Chaudhry however said that the notice will be withdrawn if Khan tendered an unconditional apology within two weeks.
The legal proceedings against the PTI supremo will commence if he failed to prove the allegations.
