KARAK, July 14: An additional district and sessions judge in Takht-i-Nusrati on Saturday issued arrest warrants for Provincial Law Minister Malik Zafar Azam in a defamation case filed by Javed Khattak advocate.
Judge Zahid Mahmood issued the warrants after the minister repeatedly failed to appear before the court.
The defamation case was filed by Khattak Qaumi Tehreek district president Javed Khattak advocate against the publication of “concocted stories” in the press against him.
After the court’s order, the plaintiff told mediapersons that the court order was the victory of justice as the law minister considered himself above the law.
He asked Karak DIG and DPO to arrest the provincial minister Malik Zafar Azam.
