An additional sessions court in Islamabad on Saturday ruled in favour of Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal in a defamation suit against former federal minister Murad Saeed, ordering the latter to pay Rs2.5 million in damages.
Judge Hakim Khan announced the verdict, holding that Saeed had failed to substantiate allegations that the federal minister was involved in corruption worth Rs70 billion.
According to the judgment, the allegations of corruption, abuse of authority and receiving illegal commissions levelled against Iqbal constituted defamation.
