Spot-fixing - Court moved in Pakistan for registering case against cricket cheats

Pakistan News: The petitioner prayed to the court after a Lahore police station refused to file an FIR >

Muhammad Faisal, a resident of Lahore, today filed a petition in the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Anjum Raza seeking an order for Faisal Town police to file a criminal case against the convicted cricketers for their involvement in fixing and tarnishing country’s image.
The SHO of the Faisal Town police station did not pay heed to Faisal’s complaint, forcing the petitioner to seek court’s intervention. The Judge has ordered SHO to give his comments to the court by November 4.

His plea was based on the fact that the act of the tainted cricketers not only spoiled nation’s repute but also caused disappointment to millions of their countrymen. As per PPC (Pakistan Penal Code), the disgraced trio can be tried because any citizen who commits crime abroad is liable to litigation in Pakistan.
