Author: Staff Report

LAHORE: A division bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday reserved the decision on an appeal against appointment of Justice (r) Asad Munir as the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) administrator.

The appeal was moved on behalf of some officials of the PFF. Applicant counsel alleged that there were two factions of PFF and the officials of the federal government were interfering in its affairs

He said that the federal government had no authority to regulate the PFF affairs. He said that PFF gets instructions and funds from the international football federation.

He said that the LHC single bench while hearing a petition about a dispute in PFF had appointed Asad Munir as administrator. He requested the court to set aside the single bench order.

Counsel for the federal government said that it was wrong to say that the government was interfering in the PFF affairs. He said that these were two factions, which were trying to get control of the PFF.

The bench after hearing the arguments reserved the verdict.
