00:00Do you know that Malka-e-Tarannum, Madam Noor Jehan was once presented in court in Burkha?

00:05This was in 1953.

00:07A woman filed a case of misbehaviour against Madam Noor Jehan.

00:11The lawyer thought that Madam Noor Jehan should be acquitted from the case.

00:15A shikha of Ayin was found which could have been used to acquit women from the court.

00:21The lawyer put Madam Noor Jehan in Burkha and presented her in the court.

00:25The judge was also surprised to see Madam Noor Jehan in Burkha.

00:28He said that she is such a big film star and children of Pakistan have seen her.

00:32Then what is the purpose of covering her?

00:35The lawyer said that she is seen on the border but in public places she is covered.

00:41The court accepted this position of Burkha and

00:44on the basis of being a covered woman, excluded Madam Noor Jehan from the case.
