Justice Azizur Rehman of the Sindh High Court on Friday restrained Adil Gilani from allegedly misusing the platform of Transparency International-Pakistan (TIP) for damaging the reputation of JS Bank and for promoting the personal agenda of the business opponents and rivals. JS Bank had filed a suit against Saad Rashid, Syed Adil Gilani, Transparency International-Pakistan and Transparency International Secretariat alleging that Adil Gilani and Saad Rashid were misusing the TIP platform for damaging the business of the bank, its sponsors and subsidiaries. It also submitted that Adil Gilani, who was an employee/business associate of Aqeel Karim Dhedhi, a business rival of Jahangir Siddiqui, was misusing the TIP forum to promote personal agenda to the detriment of bank’s name and business. The Sindh High Court had issued a restraining order against defendants restraining them from making/circulating false and libelous material but in spite of the stay order, Adil Gilani had continued with malicious propaganda. The court has now issued contempt notice to Adil Gilani for June 12.
