Syed Tassadaq Mustafa Naqvi and Syed Tassadaq Murtaza Naqvi – sons of SC judge Mazahar Naqvi, have sent a legal notice to Mian Dawood – the petitioner who approached the SJC against the judge.
“This legal notice is being issued in response to your malicious and spiteful campaign against myself, my brother Syed Tassadaq Mustafa Naqvi, and my reputable establishment Naqvi and Co. Advocates & Corporate Consultants,” read the notice sent to the petitioner.
“You are using the public platform, you have access to, to misinform people about who the undersigned are and what they represent,” it added.
The notice went on to that that it was "evident from your latest activities that not only are you mentally deranged, but that you continue to dishonour this legal profession, in the best way you could."
Concluding, it said, "You have been instructed to public apologise for your actions for trying to defame the undersigned, within a period of 15 days."
The notice told the petitioner that he was "also to issue a corrigendum in the same mode and manner, failing of which, you prepare yourself to face legal action (civil and criminal) for injuring the reputation of the undersigned, as an integral part of a reputed establishment."
'Wont be intimidated'
Meanwhile, responding to the legal notice, Mian Dawood said he would not be intimidated for an act meant to uphold the supremacy of the law and the Constitution.
"Rather than using legal notices as a shield, [the concerned] should respond about the loot and plunder in the SJC," he said.
A day earlier, Pakistan Bar Council – the apex body representing the lawyers – filed a complaint of misconduct against the judge in the SJC.
Top lawyer bodies, including the PBC, had announced to file separate complaints against the judge, after audio clips allegedly featuring him surfaced recently.
