LAHORE – FIA Additional Director General Zafar Qureshi has been served a legal notice demanding a payment of Rs 50 million as a token compensation for defaming the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid and its leadership due to his intentional mala fide acts and misquoting the record of the court.
He was served the notice by Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain through Irfan Arif advocate. According to the legal notice, Qureshi had been warned of legal action, criminal as well as civil, if he failed to pay the demanded compensation forthwith. The notice said Qureshi had been persistently hostile, had mala fide intentions and deliberately misinterpreted the law.
The legal notice not only holds Qureshi responsible for the false implication of Moonis Elahi in the NICL scam, but also accuses him of misguiding the media and the public at large by arranging publication of a false news item stating that Moonis had been declared a proclaimed offender.
