Meesha Shafi Asks Court To Dismiss Ali Zafar’s Defamation Suit

A postponed hearing leaves the case waiting on the trial court’s next step under pressure to conclude a yearslong dispute.

Overview

  • Meesha Shafi moved in final arguments to have Ali Zafar’s defamation case tossed, which seeks Rs1 billion in damages.
  • Her lawyer said the suit lacks concrete proof of defamation and argued she has stayed consistent about multiple harassment incidents.
  • Ali Zafar’s counsel said the allegations are false and claimed they damaged his reputation and career.
  • The judge adjourned proceedings after hearing both sides and did not issue a verdict.
  • An earlier Lahore High Court directive urged a prompt decision, increasing pressure on the trial court to conclude the matter.
