KARACHI: Pakistani singer Meesha Shafi’s workplace harassment case against singer-turned-actor Ali Zafar has been approved for hearing by Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) on Monday.

According to details, the apex court has granted leave in Meesha Shafi’s case, meaning the court will be deliberating if her accusations of sexual harassment should come under the workplace harassment law.

“This also means that Harassment complaint was never heard on merits. More power to all survivors of harassment who are still invisible & fighting for change,” renowned lawyer and activist Nighat Dad said in a tweet.
