The Peshawar Sessions Court has dismissed a claim for one billion rupees in damages filed by Malik Tariq Awan, a member of the provincial assembly from the PML-N, against former PTI provincial minister Kamran Bangash.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Alamgir Shah issued a written decision following the conclusion of the case hearing. Malik Tariq Awan had claimed that Kamran Bangash made baseless and fabricated accusations against him during a protest in 2024, alleging his association with the land-grabbing mafia and other serious offences.
