In July 2025, Dubai Courts of First Instance published a formal public notice in The Gulf Time, summoning defendants in a major civil claim. The notice relates to Case No. 22/2025/319 (Civil – Full Jurisdiction), heard before the Tenth Case Management Circuit No. 413.
The plaintiff, Nazar Bunka, seeks a joint judgment for AED 13,108,518 (thirteen million, one hundred eight thousand, five hundred eighteen dirhams), together with court fees, expenses, and attorney’s fees. The defendants named in the notice are Shehzad Bakhsh and Sonia Bakhsh — a married couple — who were required to appear personally or through legal counsel at a remote hearing scheduled for Tuesday, 5 August 2025 at 09:00 AM.
Public notices of this kind are used when defendants cannot otherwise be served, placing them on formal notice of the lawsuit and the hearing date. The publication, dated 21 July 2025 (Notice No. 2025/202936) and printed on 23 July 2025, is part of the official Dubai Courts process for civil full-jurisdiction claims.
