Legal notices bearing signatures of both, Rehman Malik and M Azhar Chaudhry, were served to Shahbaz Sharif and Senator Mushahidullah on Saturday, M Azhar Chaudhry while talking to The Express Tribune confirmed.
Chaudhry said that through the legal notices, Shahbaz Sharif and Mushahidullah have been asked to offer an unconditional apology to his client within 10 days otherwise Malik reserves the right to file a civil suit and claim damages worth Rs10 billion.
Shahbaz Sharif and Mushahidullah allegedly made references, which Malik and his lawyer believe were defamatory, during a press conference on March 14 , 2012 and through statements and discussions in subsequent television talk shows. They alleged that Malik, utilising his authority as Interior Minister, had withdrawn funds from accounts of Intelligence Bureau.

@Blithe: And to your maturity and wisdom which sounds more plausible:Rehman getting 10 billion in defemation charges or shehbaz rendering apology.
What is Rahman Malik's worth;10 billion? If true,from where did he get this money/property?Has he paid tax on this hefty amount.One can claim damages according to his material worth.
This was long overdue to a person whose mouth was bigger than him.
Baby says this is great news. Will the mighty SC award Rs10 billion in damages??? That could make the Sharifs hiccup a small part of their wealth, when they claim paying Rs.5000 in taxes???
Now some juvenile PTI will come out and say 'noora kushti'.
Unfortunately , the PTI hand nothing positive to say about there own party so they have resorted to this propaganda.
10billion or 10 million..?
