LHC stops FIA from registering case against Babar Azam

LAHORE (Web Desk) - The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has been stopped from registering an online harassment case against Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam.

The LHC suspended on Monday the May 18 orders of a sessions court. The lower court had directed the FIA to file an FIR against Azam on Hamiza Mukhtar’s complaint.

The cricketer had argued that the order was issued without hearing him which is a violation of his basic fundamental rights. The petition was filed on March 20.

Justice Asjad Javaid Ghural took up the petition and provided relief to Azam.
