Karachi, September 2024 — In a significant and compassionate move, the family of the late Imran Arif has officially submitted a no objection affidavit before the District and Sessions Court East at Karachi, granting forgiveness to the accused individuals in an ongoing case involving Natasha Danish and others. The affidavit, submitted by Osama Arif, the son of the deceased, marks a crucial turn in the legal proceedings as the family has chosen the path of reconciliation, seeking no further legal retribution against the accused.
According to the affidavit, the family has settled the matter amicably and has extended forgiveness to Natasha Danish, the wife of Muhammad Danish Iqbal, and Muhammad Danish Iqbal, the son of Iqbal Ali Muhammad, in the name of Almighty Allah. The family expressed that their decision is grounded in the principles of mercy and compassion, affirming that the unfortunate incident leading to Imran Arif’s death was unintentional.
Osama Arif, in his sworn statement, emphasized that the family’s decision to forgive the accused parties was made without any external pressure, coercion, or enticement. He confirmed that the affidavit reflects the family’s genuine desire for resolution, which is based on their own free will and in accordance with their personal values and beliefs.
The affidavit further underscores the family’s appeal to the court to consider this act of forgiveness in its judgment. The family hopes that the honorable court will take into account their plea for leniency and, in light of their reconciliation, grant bail to the accused. The affidavit brings attention to the fact that the incident was an unintentional and tragic accident, and the family believes that justice can be served through forgiveness and closure rather than continued legal conflict.
This development is expected to influence the ongoing legal process, with the court now considering the family’s wishes as it proceeds with the case. The no objection affidavit not only exemplifies the family’s resolve to move forward from the tragedy but also highlights the broader cultural and religious significance of forgiveness in such situations.
