    ISLAMABAD: Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui of Islamabad High Court (IHC) has refused to hear plea against appointment of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) interim chairman Najam Sethi.

    Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui, while refusing to hear the plea, said as the same court had given verdict for the dismissal of Zaka Ashraf, therefore, it would refer the case to Chief Justice IHC Justice Anwar Kasi. A man, namely Abdullah Tahir, had filed plea against appointment of Najam Sethi as PCB chairman. In his petition, the applicant had pleaded that Sethi should be stopped from performing his duties as cricket board chief and that the PCB chairman be appointed through election.
