In 1957, her outspoken criticism of the regime of Major-General Iskander Mirza and the forced resignation of PM Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, culminated in a six months government ban on the Mirror, issued on 9 November. She was privately informed that this ban would be withdrawn if she publicly apologised. However, she refused to do this and, on the advice of the well-known lawyer A.K. Brohi, appealed to the Supreme Court of Pakistan. After Brohi's intervention on her behalf, the Supreme Court passed judgement in her favour holding the order of the Central Government illegal and unconstitutional, the government awarded her the costs of petition to Begum Hamidullah. This incident made journalistic history, and gave her the distinction of being the first woman journalist to have won a case in the Supreme Court.
