A division bench of the Lahore High Court on Thursday set aside appointment of former justice Asad Munir as administrator of the Pakistan Football Federation (PFF). The bench also sought details of the expenditures made during the tenure of the administrator.
A single bench comprising Justice Farrukh Irfan Khan had appointed former Justice Asad Munir as administrator of the PFF to run its affairs till final decision of the litigation. The PFF challenged the decision before a division bench through an intra-court appeal (ICA).
Faisal Saleh Hayat was elected president of the PFF; however, the result went into litigation after Punjab Sports Board started intervening in the federation's affairs. Faisal's rival Arshad Khan Lodhi also challenged the election.
The bench headed by Justice Ayesha A Malik set aside the appointment of Asad Munir and directed him to relinquish the charge immediately.
