A petition has been filed in the Lahore High Court by the father of film actress Sapna Khan to become a party in the case for her recovery from the illegal custody of former Punjab chief minister Dost Mohammad Khosa.
Mishal Khan, through his counsel Muhammad Azhar Siddique, submitted that a petition is pending in the LHC for the recovery of his daughter from the illegal custody of Dost Khosa. He rejected the claims that Dost had divorced her after one year of marriage. He feared that his daughter had been murdered by Dost Khosa as she was missing since the time she had married him. He prayed to the court to allow him to be a party in the petition for recovery of Sapna which was earlier filed on humanitarian basis by Judicial Activism Panel (JAP) Chairman Azhar Siddique advocate. In a reply submitted in the LHC on the petition for her recovery, Dost had admitted that he had married Sapna on June 2, 2010 and on February 28, 2011, a daughter namely Mah Gul was born from the wedlock. However, Dost claimed that on October 11, 2011, he had divorced Sapna and did not know about her present whereabouts. Mishal Khan said that Dost was misleading the court with the claims that he had divorced his daughter while she remains in his custody or has been killed by him. He said that Dost presented in the LHC a bogus divorce certificate, issued by the office of Secretary UC, Green Town, adding that neither he, nor his daughter ever lived in that area. Hence, the matter did not fall in the jurisdiction of the UC.
