ISLAMABAD: Former Supreme Court judge retired Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday on Saturday sent a legal notice to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for defaming him and accusing him of rigging the May 2013 general elections.

Imran had named former SC Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry, former caretaker chief minister Najam Sethi, retired senior SC judge Khalilur Rehman Ramday, and officials of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as having played a role in the alleged rigging of the 2013 polls.

Ramday has previously dismissed the allegations as baseless, saying he reserves the right to take legal action against the PTI chief.

In the notice sent today, Ramday claims the PTI chief has leveled baseless accusations of being involved in electoral rigging.

The former senior judge has demanded an apology from Imran, warning that he will sue the PTI chief of defamation if he fails to comply within 14 days.
