LAHORE – Actress Veena Malik and cricketer Mohammad Asif after reaching a  compromise withdrew applications filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC) against  each other.
The counsels of Asif and Veena appeared before the court on  Friday to inform about the compromise and sought permission to withdraw the  petitions. On this, Justice Iftikhar Hussain Chaudhry disposed of the two  petitions accordingly.
As per the case, Asif issued cheques worth Rs 11.3  million to Veena on February 10 to pay back money that he owed her but the  cheques proved bogus and she wanted legal proceedings against him.
Veena  moved the LHC against SHO Ghalib Market Gulberg who was not registering FIR  against Asif on the bogus cheques despite orders of an additional district &  sessions judge of Lahore.
Whereas, Asif approached LHC to restrain Veena from  initiating any legal action against him according to the sessions court orders  over allegations of issuing bogus cheques.
In her petition, Veena had taken  a plea that police was not complying with the court’s orders and reluctant to  register a case against Asif.
On the other hand, the counsel of Asif had  contended that a civil judge restrained Veena from initiating any proceedings  against him on the basis of ‘stolen’ cheques.
He said despite court’s  restraining orders she was trying to get a case registered. On last date of  hearing, the counsel of the both had sought time for finalising the compromise.
