LAHORE: Renowned fashion designer Mahmood Ahmad Tahir Bhatti, long celebrated for his international flair and glamorous image, is now under serious legal pressure as he faces a family maintenance case in the Lahore Family Court.

Court documents confirm that the case (No. 83041225) was officially filed on March 6, 2025, and falls under the category of “Suit for Maintenance”—a legal move often pursued when a spouse is allegedly denied emotional and financial support.

The case is currently at the Proclamation stage, signaling non-compliance or evasion, and is being presided over by Civil Judge Rana Asif Mustafa.

Despite his public persona and carefully managed reputation, the reality behind closed doors paints a very different picture.

Allegations suggest consistent neglect, detachment, and a deeper family conflict that goes beyond marital obligations—hinting at larger issues tied to wealth, inheritance, and moral accountability.
