LAHORE – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday replied to the legal notice of former chairman Najam Sethi.
Sethi had claimed that wrong figures about his benefits and allowances were made public on the board’s website to defame him.
In a brief comment on the reply to his legal notice, Sethi said: “I am not satisfied with the reply of the PCB and after consulting my lawyer I will go to the court. No answers of any of my four questions raised in my legal notice are given in this reply.”
Earlier on Oct 29 this year, Sethi had raised four points, after the board claimed it spent more than 70 million rupees on his expense, and the PCB replied to all of them in their response.
Sethi had claimed that he did not take the amount of Rs14,181,570 as allowance for being the Pakistan Super League (PSL) chairman as is mentioned in his account in the financial sheet issued by the PCB.
The board denied each and every allegation that Sethi had mentioned in his legal notice. The board further said that the notice did not contain any facts or legal basis. “It appeared to have been issued to supplement the former chairman’s purported intent to use it for a media campaign against the cricket board and chairman Ehsan Mani,” it further said.
