LHC adjourns Shaoib Akhtar's appeal against Rs7m fine
Court has adjourned appeal by retired paceman Shoaib Akhtar against a record Rs 7 million fine.
The 35-year-old, who retired from international cricket after Pakistan s World Cup semi-final defeat in March, had appealed against the Pakistan Cricket Board s (PCB) decision to fine him in June 2008.
PCB legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi said the court had sought a detailed reply on the matter. "Akhtar s lawyer had pleaded that the fine imposed ended after a new PCB set-up took over in October 2008, but our stance is that there is no vacuum in the law and the fine still holds," Rizvi told a news agency.
Lahore high court judge Azmat Saeed adjourned the meeting until September 27, Rizvi said.
The PCB last year deducted the record fine from Akhtar s dues.
