Lahore Civil Judge Zaigham Abbas Rizvi on Friday allowed stage dancers Nargis and Khushboo to perform in stage drama ‘Tera Jalwa’ after suspending an order of the Lahore district coordination officer (DCO), which had banned both stars for allegedly performing obscene dances.
Drama producer Malik Haris challenged the ban imposed by the DCO and requested that he presented the drama after obtaining a no objection certificate from the censor board but the DCO banned the stars, which incurred losses to the drama. Petitioner’s Counsel Lahore Bar Association (LBA) Secretary Farhad Ali Shah claimed that once the censor board had granted NOC, the DCO had no jurisdiction to take such action. The civil judge also sought a reply from the DCO until November 18.
