On 21-09-2022, the Honourable Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench, was pleased to appoint Imran Hassan Ali as amicus curiae in a case involving a dispute about the proper procedure for khula under Shia Jurisprudence (Fiqh-e-Jafria). More specifically, the extent of jurisdiction of the Family Court in such matters was to be determined by the High Court.
Arguments were heard on multiple dates. Eventually, the Court rendered its detailed judgment in November 2024, agreeing with the submissions of the amicus curiae and the Advocate General Punjab.
The citation for the judgment is 2024 LHC 5108 (Syed Shouzab Imran Kazmi vs. Syeda Iffat Bukhari etc.). It can be downloaded from the Lahore High Court website by clicking here.
It is a great honour for Imran. All praise is for Allah alone!
