According to the reports by a local news outlet, Punjab Governor Muhammad Rafiq Rajwana rejected Meesha Shafi’s appeal against Ali Zafar over technical grounds.
The supposed plea was dismissed on July 11 due to Meesha not being under any contract to work with Ali, therefore the act did not apply in this case.

“Meesha was not compelled in any way to work with Ali”, the legal team of the actor/singer said in a statement. “The appeal was dismissed some time ago, around the same time Ali’s Pakistani film Teefa in Trouble was releasing. Therefore, we didn’t want the attention from the movie to be diverted,” a member of the team, Ambreen Qureshi shared.
The appeal has been dismissed on technical basis, which means when ombudsman cited the case to be not under the said act. Our plan is to appeal again on a competent forum and hopefully justice will prevail,” confirmed Meesha’s lawyer, Ahmed Pansota.
