Hearing on Harassment Allegations Against Babar Azam Adjourned Until December 12

A hearing on Pakistan cricket captain Babar Azam’s petition against an Additional Sessions Judge’s decision has been postponed until December 12 without any proceedings. Justice Muhammad Waheed Khan presided over the case in the Lahore High Court.

Case Background

The case stems from allegations made by a woman accusing Babar Azam of harassment and blackmail. The cricketer filed the petition in 2021, challenging the directives issued by the Additional Sessions Judge to register a case based on these accusations.

Babar Azam’s Petition

In his petition, Babar Azam has stated:

• The allegations of harassment and blackmail are baseless.
• The Additional Sessions Judge’s decision to instruct the registration of a case was contrary to the facts.
• The accusations were intended to damage his reputation and were part of an effort to malign his character.

The petition requests the court to nullify the decision made by the Additional Sessions Judge.

Hearing Adjournment

During the hearing, Babar Azam’s lawyer requested an adjournment of the case, which was granted by the court. The next hearing is scheduled for December 12.

This case has garnered significant attention due to Babar Azam’s status as one of the world’s leading cricketers and the captain of Pakistan’s national team. Further developments in the matter are eagerly awaited
