Adil Raja will have to pay about Rs 13 crore on account of damage and court’s expenses. Judge LHC has said Adil Raja maligned Brig (Retd) Rashid Naseer and leveled false allegations. Adil Raja will have to pay 50000 pounds to Brig (Retd) Rashid Naseer. The judge ordered Adil Raja to pay about 3 lac pounds to Brig (Retd) Rashid Naseer. The court stated that Raja failed to substantiate the accusations he made against the retired army officer. Justice Spearman recognised that the published media items had caused serious harm to Rashid Naseer’s reputation, ruling that the statements were untrue and defamatory. As part of the ruling, Adil Raja has been directed to publicly announce on all his media platforms that Brigadier (r) Rashid Naseer has won the case.
