- Feroze Khan turned to family court for visitation and custody of his two children.
- Muhammad Sultan Khan and Fatima Khan’s father filed a petition with the Family Judge-VIII (East).
- The hearing was postponed until October 1.
After divorcing his wife Alizey Sultan, actor Feroze Khan turned to family court for visitation and custody of his two children.
Muhammad Sultan Khan and Fatima Khan’s father, Khan, filed a petition with the Family Judge-VIII (East) asking for Muhammad Sultan Khan and Fatima Khan’s permanent custody under Section 25 of the Guardian and Wards Act as well as permission to see them once a week until the matter is resolved under Section 12 of the Act. Ms. Sultan was instructed to submit her written response.
The youngsters were presented in court on Wednesday by the female respondent, where they also had a meeting with their father. A separate application by Khan under Section 100 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) asking for the return of his children through the SHO of the Gulistan-e-Jahaur police station was dismissed by the judge, who noted that it had become infructuous because the minors had already appeared in court and met their father.
The hearing was postponed until October 1 because Ms. Sultan needs to submit a written statement regarding the application by then.
Sultan and Khan exchanged vows on March 30, 2018.
Khan claimed that he divorced Ms. Sultan on September 3 “due to unavoidable circumstances and lack of understanding” between them since she was not “obedient towards him,” according to a statement made by his attorney Faique Ali Jagirani.”
The attorney claimed that because his client was the children’s natural guardian, he could not leave them in the care of his ex-wife because “she is a negligent lady” and he had severe concerns for their future.” He insisted that the actor was entirely entitled to see, meet, and visit his children and to get legal custody of them.
The attorney said that Ms. Sultan was preventing Khan from seeing the children and pleaded with the court to order her to permanently transfer custody of the children to him while still allowing him to see them once a week until the application is decided.
