For this purpose they decided to enter into a contract with a car manufacturer Mr. Ahmad under which he agreed to sponsor the Spice Girls' tour in return for his promotional work. The contract was duly signed on 6th May 2011. Suddenly Sahar Naseem left the group on the 27th May of that year. Further Ahmad discovered that Sahar already informed the other members of the group of her decision to leave them prior to the signing of
contract. Mr. Ahmad claimed in the court that they had been induced to enter the contract by
a caricature.
Finally it was apprehended by the Court on the appeal of Mr. Ahmad that the Spice Girls had

members was to leave.
