I am a businessman and I am running a company in the name of Sana Traders. Its head office is at Peshawar while it has a branch office in Istanbul, Turkey. The company deals in precious and semi precious stones. The applicant is the sole proprietor of this company.
The applicant on a couple of occasions has visited Turkey for the sake of business. During his stay in Istanbul the applicant came across a local business namely EFEKARAKAPLAN. They came to Pakistan and purchased precious stones from the applicant and made part payment. The rest of the payment was to be made after the shipment reached Turkey.
The shipment did reach Turkey and was received by EFEKARAKAPLAN. The applicant waited for a while and afterwards contacted EFEKARAKAPLAN who promised to send the outstanding amount but did not do so. Lastly the applicant was asked by EFEKARAKAPLAN to come to Istanbul to collect the amount.
The said EFEKARAKAPLAN called me to his shop and when I went there he along with three others abused and threatened me of dire consequences. It was because of an Indian businessman that I got out of the shop safely. The applicant went to Istanbul, stayed there for more than a month and a half but still the payment could not be made to him.
The applicant then made a complaint to Istanbul counsel general of Pakistan which was received by e-mail on 22-2-2007. The said EFEKARAKAPLAN was summoned to the embassy thrice but he didn't turn up. The applicant because of many constraints had to leave for Pakistan. The applicant also made a complaint to Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry which also wrote to the concerned chamber in Istanbul but to no avail. Now after exhausting all the remedies available to the applicant I appeal to the concerned authorities for help.
