ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court on Thursday issued a notice to former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf in a plea seeking Rs 750 million damages for using the logo of eagle.
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani heard the case filed by Naseem Ahmed, chairman of Pakistan Freedom Party, to restrain the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) from using the symbol of eagle.
During proceedings, Naseem appeared in person and pleaded his case. He said the symbol of eagle had been allotted to his party on December 9, 2007. He contested for three MNA and one MPA seats in the general elections 2008 with the said symbol.
He argued that no political party had any legal or moral right to use this logo, but the respondent was not only using it but also making statements that the said logo would be allotted to the APML. He said he sent a legal notice to Musharraf on 07/06/2011 and raised his grievances but the defendant continuously claimed the ownership of the symbol which was not allotted to him by the competent authority.After hearing the arguments, the bench issued a notice to the respondent to submit his stance and adjourned the hearing till March 4.
