Pirzada has served the notice thorough his counsel, Raja Ibarhim Satti Advocate, on Qazi Muhammad Anwar, the TV channel and its anchor Dr Shahid Masood for using "malicious, defamatory and derogatory" language imputations against him on January 16.
"You, Mr Qazi Muhammad Anwar deliberately levelled incorrect and misleading allegation that my client (Sharifuddin Pirzada) along with other senior advocates like Akram Sheikh were indulging in legal-political-judicial intrigue in the Supreme Court bar Library on January 11, as on that day or on any other occasion such discussion has never taken place and on January 11 the topic of our discussion was about a well known book, "Fall and Rise of Islam" by an eminent professor of Harvard University," the notice said. The host of the TV show did not verify the allegations, it said.
It asked Qazi Muhammad Anwar to withdraw the said allegations within one week, besides asking the channel's anchor, to express regrets to him forthwith telecasting it in the same programme. Sharifuddin Prizada has made it clear that if the needful was not done, he reserves all the rights and remedies under the law.
