The high court of the Sindh granted a deposit on the film producer, writer and director Jamshed Mahmood, also known as Jami on Thursday, and said the sentence of imprisonment that was pronounced by a vacuum of the local court.
During the hearing, Jami’s lawyer, lawyer Hafiz Muhammad Yahya, informed SHC that the district judge and additional southern sessions had given the filmmaker for two years and a fine on a direct complaint.
The lawyer argued that the offense for which Jami had been sentenced was renamed. The lower court did not complement the legal requirements during the conviction, he said, arguing that the allegations against Jamshed were false and without foundation.
The lawyer asked SHC to declare the zero sentence and not avenue.
SHC granted a deposit against a deposit worth 50,000 rupees and anchored the sentence inflicted by the lower court.
According to Jami’s lawyer, the filmmaker will be released today from prison.
On February 18, 2019, music director Sohail Javed filed a defamation complaint against Jami on a Facebook publication. Javed accused Jami of having defamed it on social networks by sharing a letter from a woman who claimed to have been sexually assaulted by a “video clip and TVC director” during a music festival.
Jami’s Facebook status, which included the letter, has become viral and the legal opinion of Javed mentioned that the letter had been shared by anyone before Jami published it.
Although Jami did not explicitly appoint Sohail in his post, he shared a screenshot of the account of another victim, who had the name of Javed.
