The Lahore High Court on Tuesday ordered the non-enforcement of the controversial defamation bill, which was signed into law by the acting Punjab governor Malik Ahmad Khan a few days ago, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Punjab Additional Advocate General raised objections to the admissibility of the plea for the hearing. “The petition is not fit to be admitted for the hearing,” he said. The law, which became the subject of criticism the moment it was passed, however, soon landed in the Lahore High Court after a joint petition was filed by two journalists challenging its legality.
The defamation law suggests special tribunals to hear defamation cases, with swift judgments anticipated, and fines of up to Rs3 million for disseminating false information. The tribunal has six months to make a decision.
