KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has restrained Syed Adil Gilani from misusing the platform of Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) for damaging the reputation of JS Bank and issued contempt notices to them for June 12 on the issue of circulating false and libelous material against the bank despite the stay order, court officials said on Friday.
SHCs single bench, headed by Justice Azizur Rehman, issued the restraining orders on Thursday after preliminary hearing of a lawsuit and contempt application filed by the JS Bank against the TIP, its Advisor Syed Adil Gilani and Executive Director Saad Rashid.
The plaintiff sued TIP and its officials for damaging the JS Banks business, its sponsors and subsidiaries and promoting the personal agenda of its business opponents and rivals.The application stated that Gilani, who was an employee/business associate of Aqeel Karim Dhedhi a self-claimed rival of Jahangir Siddiqui, was abusing the name of the TIP to promote personal agenda to the detriment of JS Banks name and business.
Plaintiff counsel Khalid Jawed Khan submitted that Adil Gilani claims to be advisor of TIP, which is anti-corruption watchdog. He submitted that Gilani was using the TIP platform to malign and damage the reputation of the JS Bank. The counsel of the bank further contended that Gilani being advisor of the TIP was not within his right to use the platform for maligning and damaging the reputation of the plaintiff and sought interim injunction against the defendants from doing so.

Who is Adil Gilani and what is he up to?
TIP, the corruption watchdog, looks even messier here someone need to get answers from TI. (e.g) some questions:
- According to TI website, Adil Gilani is neither an executive nor a trustee; so what authority does he have to represent and speak on behalf of TI? http://siasitv.com/who-is-adil-gilani-in-transparency-international-pakistan/ And what is his relationship with the current chairman of TI-Pakistan?
- Why did Adil Gilani earlier quit the directorship/chairmanship of TI-Pakistan? Any allegations?
- Are TI-Pakistan executives rather blackmailing the 'corrupt' for some private deals and even becoming de facto approvers of various contracts, colluding with the bidders? http://tribune.com.pk/story/90748/nicl-scam-behind-the-scenes-deal-uncovered/
- Why were Adil Gilani and Saad Rashid recently issued a contempt notice by the SHC? Did they blackmail JS Bank? http://www.thenews.com.pk/Todays-News-13-23231-Adil-Gilani-restrained-from-using-TIP-against-JS-Bank
- Did Adil Gilani or TI-Pakistan executives impress on the NICL accused to make a behind the scene deal (to award contracts to parties, as approved by TI) in lieu of TIs report to the SC declaring the innocence of NICL officials? http://tribune.com.pk/story/90748/nicl-scam-behind-the-scenes-deal-uncovered/
- Was Adil Gilani, as a KDA employee, involved in the dubious construction contract of FTC? http://tribune.com.pk/story/103107/...-international-chief-faces-yet-another-probe/
- Did Adil Gilanis employer, KPT, ever reprimand him for corruption allegations, on reports of FIA and NAB? http://tribune.com.pk/story/103107/...-international-chief-faces-yet-another-probe/
- Why did TI-Pakistan fail to take up the case of Sohrab Adil Gilani (s/o Syed Adil Gilani) who was charged with corruption in PNSC? http://lubpak.com/archives/29459
- Did Sohail Muzaffar, the current chairman of TI-Pakistan, own stakes in MyBank Ltd when he was its senior executive? Did Sohail Muzaffar's MyBank Ltd fail as a viable commercial entity and why was it bought by/merged with Arif Habibs Summit Bank?
- Has Sohail Muzaffar, remained on the panel of attorneys for the US CG in Karachi? http://photos.state.gov/libraries/lahore/19452/pdfs/attorney_pakistan_070626.pdf Is he/his law firm still on that panel? If so, can he claim independence and impartiality while leading a supposedly impartial organisation exposing national and international corruption within Pakistan?
