LAHORE February 18, 2017: Regrettably, even after the injunctive order Sarfraz Nawaz is continuing with his vitriol campaign and is leveling false allegations for which contempt of court proceeding have also been initiated. It is astonishing that despite the injunctive order, TV channels are providing airtime to Sarfraz Nawaz which is tantamount to contempt of court.

In a Suit no 32/ 5-6-15 Najam Aziz Sethi vs. Sarfraz Nawaz for damages of 100 million under defamatory ordinance 2002 is pending before the District Court, Lahore for the slanderous, false, malicious, defamatory and concocted statements/allegations leveled by Sarfraz Nawaz against Mr. Najam Sethi.

The learned judge on 19-6-2015 has restrained Sarfraz Nawaz for leveling false, malicious and defamatory allegations against Najam Sethi in electronic and print media. Therefore all TV channels and print media are put on notice by Pakistan Cricket Board about the pendency of the suit, contempt proceedings and the injunctive order, any violation of which may expose the channels and newspapers to contempt of court of the learned court.
