Jammu and Kashmir High Court cancels chargesheet filed against JKCA leader Farooq Abdullah and company

On August 14, the state High Court completely quashed the chargesheet filed by the ED. J&K Stadium (Pic Source-X) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had filed a chargesheet against former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah and others in connection with the money laundering case of irregularities in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA). On August 14, the state’s High Court has completely quashed the chargesheet filed by the ED. Justice Sanjeev Kumar, who conducted the proceedings, said that the people who were accused had not committed any crime and hence the chargesheet was quashed. The ED had filed the chargesheet against National Conference chief Abdullah, Ehsan Ahmed Mirza, former treasurer of JKCA, Mir Manzoor Ghazanfar, and others. The ED had filed a chargesheet accusing the JKCA of misappropriating funds received from the Board of Control for Cricket in India. It was reported that Rs 94.06 crore was received in three different bank accounts during the financial years 2005-2006 to 2011-12. This is why Abdullah, Mirza Ghazanfar, former writer Bashir Ahmad Misgar, and Gulzar Ahmad Baig were accused by the JKCA of misappropriating funds worth Rs 43.69 crore. Following this, the ED filed a case against Abdullah and all others in 2018 citing a chargesheet filed by the CBI on the same allegations even though three separate orders were passed earlier. Moreover, the ED arrested Mirza in November 2019 on the basis of the chargesheet and his case is still going on. Our petition has been accepted, ED had no jurisdiction over the case: Shariq J Riaz Mirza and Ghazanfar were represented by Shariq J Riaz as they approached the high court seeking quashing of the case filed by the ED. Additional Solicitor General V Raju argued on behalf of the ED and the order was reserved for August 7. However, Reyaz has confirmed that ‘our argument is that no wrongdoing was committed.’ The court’s decision has been negotiated in his favour. Apart from this, he has also revealed that the ED had no jurisdiction over the said case. This is the real status of Pakistan..!

Former Australian cricketer made fun of Abdullah Shafiq for dropping his catch!

Taking advantage of the donation of life, Mitchell Marsh played a brilliant inning of 96 runs. AUS VS PAK (Pic Source-Twitter) Mitchell Marsh batted brilliantly on the third day of the Melbourne Test being played between Australia and Pakistan. However, the Pak team dropped one of his catches when he was batting after scoring 20 runs. After this, Marsh took full advantage of his life and played a half-century. In fact, on the third day of the Boxing Day Test being played against Australia, Pakistani player Abdullah Shafiq once again dropped a catch, which this time gave life to Mitchell Marsh. The host team was in trouble at one point, losing 4 wickets for 46 runs and Marsh’s wicket could have taken Pakistan on the path to victory. After Abdullah dropped the catch, captain Shan Masood as well as bowler Aamer Jamal looked disappointed and covered their faces with their hands in frustration. Mark Waugh said this Now talking about Shafiq’s poor catching technique, Australian all-rounder Mark Waugh said, the cricketer opened his hands more than necessary. It felt as if ‘the jaws of a crocodile were trying to catch the ball.’ Waugh said, I think you have to remove Shafiq from there. He was not seen taking a single catch in the entire series. It’s exactly like trying to catch a ball with the jaws of a crocodile.
