HBL PSL 8: LHC withdraws letter seeking ‘VVIP passes’ for judges

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Thursday withdrew its letter wherein the manager of Multan Cricket Stadium was directed to arrange “VVIP passes and red vehicle stickers” for the superior court judges intending to attend HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches.

The senior additional registrar of the LHC Multan bench had written a letter to the MSC manager wherein it is stated that the LHC judges along with their families have desired to participate in the opening ceremony and watch matches of HBL PSL scheduled in Multan.

"I am, therefore, to ask you to arrange Chairman Box and provide Thirty (30) VVIP Passes and red vehicle stickers for Opening Ceremony of PSL and Twenty (25) VVIP Passes for each match of PSL scheduled in Multan, immediately, in compliance with the desire of their Lordships in letter and spirit," read the letter.

Subsequently, the same letter is withdrawn by the LHC senior additional registrar, saying that “the letter has been inscribed to you inadvertently”.
