  • Shop that sold used sherwani getting sued by customer

    Shop that sold used sherwani getting sued by customer

    A local boutique owner has been sent a compensation notice by an upset buyer who alleges that he was sold an old sherwani for his cousin’s wedding.

    A man, identified as Usman Shabbir, reached out to the Consumer Protection Court to file a complaint against the owner of the local boutique demanding Rs500,000 from him.

    The News reports that the sherwani was ordered from the boutique on September 8 and according to the notice, the new sherwani was to be designed for Rs20,000 while Shabir paid Rs15,000 in advance.

    “The owner of the boutique gave an old sherwani instead of a new one,” the notice read, adding that the owner violated the Punjab Consumer Protection Act 2005.

    The district consumer court has summoned the owner of the boutique on January 2, 2024 .

  • Pakistan’s current account records first surplus since June 2023

    Pakistan’s current account records first surplus since June 2023

    In a noteworthy turnaround, Pakistan’s current account, after four consecutive months of deficits, revealed a surplus of $9 million in November 2023. 

    This marks a stark contrast to the $157 million deficit recorded in the same month the previous year, as reported by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on Monday.

    This surplus, the first since June 2023, is significantly lower in volume compared to its standing at $520 million. 

    Analysts attribute this surplus to a substantial rise in the country’s exports and remittances, coupled with a marginal decline in imports. Worth noting is the previous month’s current account deficit of $184 million in October 2023.

    According to SBP data, November 2023 witnessed a 12 per cent surge in the country’s exports (goods and services) to $3.364 billion, compared to $2.999 billion in November 2022. 

    Simultaneously, remittances reached $2.25 billion, reflecting a 4 per cent increase from the same month last year. Conversely, total imports saw a nearly 6 per cent reduction to $5.29 billion in November 2023, down from $5.01 billion the previous year.

    SBP reports a significant improvement, with Pakistan’s current account deficit for July-November of FY24 standing at $1.16 billion, a remarkable 64 per cent decrease from the $3.3 billion deficit in the same period of the previous fiscal year (FY23).

    During its latest Monetary Policy Committee meeting on December 12, the SBP highlighted a notable enhancement in the current account balance, with the deficit narrowing by 65.9 per cent year-on-year to $1.1 billion during Jul-Oct FY24.

    This shift is crucial for economically challenged Pakistan, heavily reliant on imports, as a widening deficit exerts pressure on the exchange rate and depletes official foreign exchange reserves, currently standing at slightly over $7 billion according to the latest data.

  • Why did HSY fail to recognise Urfi Javed?

    Why did HSY fail to recognise Urfi Javed?

    Fashion designer Hassan Sheheryar Yasin, popularly known as ‘HSY, didn’t recognise Indian actress Urfi Javed during an interview.

    HSY was a guest on a TV show where he shared amusing responses to quick questions. When a photo of Urfi Javed was brought up, HSY couldn’t recognize the Indian actress and asked, “Who is Urfi Javed?”


    Even after the host introduced her, the Pakistani fashion designer still didn’t recognize her and went on to explain the reason behind not knowing her.
    “Unfortunately, I know very little about the Indian film industry, I don’t know what’s going on there,” he said.
    The designer continued by saying that we should give Indian artists as much attention as they give us. “There was a time when our artists worked there and their artists worked here, people of both countries respected each other. Here I am not talking about common people but their government and its talking about policies that don’t support the exchange of art and culture.”

  • Meesha Shafi wins initial defamation case against ARY UK

    Meesha Shafi wins initial defamation case against ARY UK

    A High Court in the United Kingdom has found that New Vision TV, the broadcaster of ARY UK, has defamed singer Meesha Shafi in a December 2020 broadcast.


    The broadcast was aired by ARY UK on December 5, 2020, in which reports were presented by newsreaders and on tickers as evidence.


    In a preliminary hearing, the court found out that the channel had deliberately made defamatory remarks by implying that Meesha was failing to comply with court orders over two years and that the channel depicted Shafi as “someone who does not comply with legal requirements laid down by a court and engages in such behaviour repeatedly”.


    The channel is now required to submit its defence to the court by January 26, 2024.


    “Such an assertion would have the tendency of lowering the claimant [Ms Shafi] in the estimation of right-thinking people generally; it is contrary to the common shared values of our society for people to deliberately ignore court orders requiring them to attend court, and to do so repeatedly over an extended period…The claimant is a very high-profile Pakistani celebrity who has taken a leading role in the advancement of women’s rights, holding herself out as an example to society. Given the claimant’s standing, the words complained of are likely to have a seriously adverse impact on the way the claimant is treated, thus satisfying the seriousness threshold,” the court asserted.


    The court examined the evidence in the broadcast, which said: “She [Ms Shafi] came to Pakistan, did her work and left. Singer Meesha Shafi threw the court orders to the winds. She came to Pakistan, recorded a song, and then returned to Canada. She did not present herself in court. Ali Zafar has filed a defamation lawsuit against Meesha.”

    In 2018, Ms Shafi accused singer and actor Ali Zafar of sexual harassment, in what was thought to be the first #MeToo moment in Pakistan.
