Danish Kaneria’s petition against PCB dismissed by Sindh High Court – Cricket News Update
The discarded Pakistani leg-spinner, Danish Kaneria’s petition against the PCB, with the Sindh High Court was dismissed on Thursday, after the legal advisor of PCB, Tafazzul Rizvi questioned the court’s jurisdiction to hear the case.
Kaneria had filed a petition against the board over his continuous snub by the PCB selectors. However, a two-member bench of Sindh High Court dismissed Kaneria’s petition on Thursday.
This was confirmed by Mohammad Farogh Naseem, the leg-spinner’s lawyer. Naseem said that they have not yet decided their next move; however, he did opine that they have their plans of challenging SHC’s decision in Supreme Court or the Lahore High Court.
"It was dismissed only because the Sindh High Court doesn't have the jurisdiction to hear the case," said Mohammad Farogh Naseem while talking to a leading cricket website. "We are yet to decide our next move but we have two options: either to appeal against
the decision in the Supreme Court or to file a fresh petition in Lahore High Court," he added further.
Kaneria’s lawyer was irked by the time taken by the two member Sindh High Court bench in turning down the petition. The out of favour leg-spinner, who has not made a Pakistan squad since October 2010, had lodged the appeal against his ouster from the national
side some four months ago.
Naseem told the media reporters that point of jurisdiction was raised by Tafazzul Rizvi in the first hearing of the case. He further added that if this was the legal constraint then the court should not have stretched the case for more than four months.

Both Kaneria and Westfield were arrested by the Essex Police after the duo was alleged of fixing a part of a Pro-40 clash in the 2009 season. Kaneria was later cleared by the police of the spot-fixing charges levelled against him but the Pakistan Cricket
Board still seems in no mood to believe that the leg-spinner is innocent.
