LAHORE: Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Justice Mian Saqib Nisar on Saturday ordered to lodge case against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shahbaz for threatening Ayesha Ahad.

A two-member bench headed by the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, and comprising Justice Ijazul Ahsan, heard the petition.

During the hearing at Supreme Court (SC) Lahore registry, CJP expressed resentment over not filing the case on session court’s order and also directed Hamza Shahbaz to record his stance at 1 pm.

Meanwhile, Hamza Shahbaz's lawyer, Khawaja Salman told the court that he doesn’t know where Hamza Shahbaz is. Punjab Advocate GeneralAsma Hamid said that the PML-N leader is in abroad and will return within two to three days.

Subsequently, the court has directed to provide security to Ayesha Ahad and also directed to provide the record of case proceedings by June 6. The hearing was adjourned till June 29.

Ayesha Ahad had claimed the son of  Shahbaz Sharif, Hamza Shahbaz, married her with a lie in 2010, adding that she will present the evidence against him in ECP, not media.

She hoped for a decision in her favour, complaining that no committee was formed to investigate her case. 

She said Hamza Shahbaz is neither Sadiq nor Ameen, adding that the whole Sharif family had teamed up to defend the lies.

She demanded a probe of her case with Hamza Shehbaz under another such committee. “Goons of Maqsood Butt were used to terrorise me,” she said while assuring that she doesn’t represent any political party.

Responding to the accusations, spokesperson of Hamza Shahbaz said that the press conference of Ayesha Ahad was a pile of lies.

He said Ayesha Ahad has been brought into light by PTI leaders and was created during the 2013 general elections.

 “Imran Khan couldn’t even clearly reject the allegations even once. PTI should ask its leader to prove innocence rather than imposing allegations on others in reaction,” he further stated.
