Sindh High Court (SHC) on Wednesday restrained the Sindh government and director colleges from interfering in a cricket academy being run by Pakistan national cricket team’s former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed in Karachi’s North Nazimabad area.
The restraining order was passed by a division bench headed by Justice Syed Hassan Azhar Rizvi on a constitutional petition filed by Sarfaraz and another, claiming that the Sindh government and director colleges have established a college at ground ST-07 Block-N North Nazimabad which was given to him by former Karachi mayor for establishing a cricket academy and maintaining the ground on his own.
