Lahore (Online): The court has fixed September 30th as the next date to hear the arguments in the case over the custody of singer Humera Arshad and Khalil Ahmad Butt’s son.
Both the parents filed complaints in the court against each other for not being able to meet their son.
In the reply to Khalil Butt application regarding the custody of minor the mother of minor singer Humera Arshad stated that that the application filed by the applicant Khalil Ahmad Butt is not maintainable in its present form hence liable to be dismissed.
That the Khalil Ahmad Butt has concealed material facts from this honorable Court that the applicant very much knows that the minor was illegally in custody of Khalil Ahmad Butt and was handed over to the Humera Arshad on 07-09-2016 by the order of Mr. Ghulam Abbas Sial learned Additional Sessions Judge Lahore.
The first petition was filed on September 2 in the family court by Ahmad Butt. The complaint was filed under Section 7 of the Guardian and Wards Act 1890 for the appointment of a guardian for Ali.He said their son was a school-going boy, adding Humera was not interested in taking care of Ali. Ahmed Butt alleged Humera to be a habitual drinker and would also smoke in front of their son. He requested the court to let him get Ali’s custody.
After that, Humera filed a habeas corpus petition in the district and sessions court, seeking to obtain custody.
The plea taken by the Khalil Ahmad Butt in this regard has also been countered by the School Administration in which they in their certificate categorically mentioned that “M/s Humera Arshad has been responsible for the stated child’s school tuition.
The boy was given to Humera, but Ahmed Butt again filed an application in a family court, seeking the custody. The court asked Humera to hand over the boy to Ahmed Butt for a day under the supervision of the bailiff of the court.
