LAHORE:
The Lahore High Court s (LHC) Justice Asjad Javaid Ghural remarked on Wednesday that deciding the harassment matter of the national cricket team captain Babar Azam before the Pakistan Super League (PSL) ended would earn the country a bad name.
Justice Ghural then fixed the case for hearing in April, observing that, “the PSL is in full swing hence, deciding this matter before will bring bad name to our country.”
As proceedings commenced, Azam’s counsels expressed reservations over the content of an earlier order passed by an additional district and sessions’ judge (ADSJ), directing the Lahore police to register a First Information Report (FIR) against Azam.
