LAHORE - A sessions court on Friday issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for film actress Meera.
Judicial Magistrate Wajid Minhas Meera ordered that Meera should be arrested and presented in the court on September 17 in an ongoing case filed against her by her alleged former husband Atiqur Rehman.
The judge passed the order after the actress repeatedly ignored previous orders. Ateeq Ahmad, who claims to be her husband, had filed the suit alleging that Meera married one Captain Naveed while she was already in wedlock with Atiq.
She was summoned for multiple court hearings which she did not attend, after which the sessions court issued the non-bailable arrest warrants.
After reports of a tiff between Meera and Atiq surfaced, she vehemently denied being married to him. Atiq alleged that the actress had threatened to have him killed, and had stolen furniture from a house which he had gifted to her. Meera, in turn, had also sought to register a case against Atiq for threatening and attempting to murder her.
When news of Meera's marriage to Captain Naveed came to light, Atiq in 2012 had appeared on the media stating the actress was unable to marry Capt Naveed since she was still married to him, and the court was yet to decide on the matter of their marriage.
