LAHORE

A family court on Monday summoned witnesses in a civil suit filed by actress Meera against a local businessman, Attiqur Rehman, who claimed to be her husband.

Meera accused Attiqur Rehman of preparing a fake Nikahnama (marriage certificate) showing her as his wife only to grab her property.  The film star said she had no relation with Rehman but he was blackmailing her by claiming to be her husband.  She said the Nikahnama ‘prepared’ by the respondent (Rehman) was not verified by the union council concerned. She asked the court to declare the impugned marriage certificate a fake one.  The court adjourned further hearing by February 20.
