Shoaib needs counselling: lawyer

Interestingly, Zahid Hussain became Lahore High Court chief justice from January 1 this year and he was posted at this place by the President Pervez Mushrraf, who is also the chief patron of the PCB. "Shoaib came to me and presented the documents we had asked for. We have also enclosed a few TV channel interviews and newspaper clippings where the tribunal members and the PCB officials had voiced their opinions against my client".

"I do agree it takes years for the final hearings in High Courts, but I shall press for urgency of matter. What's the sense if the case does not come up for final verdict for more than one year when his ban period is also to end even otherwise after 18 months?".
