Regional Cricket Associations

Petitioners were office-bearers of District Cricket Associations who moved vote of no confidence but Election Commission, Pakistan Cricket Board dismissed the resolution because two office-bearers of one Association had lost their status

Subsequently when two new office-bearers had been elected, no confidence resolution was again moved by petitioners but the Commission again dismissed the resolution on the ground that after failure of earlier resolution, second resolution could not be initiated before expiry of 12 months

Validity

Condition of 12 months expiry period could have been imposed, had the motion of vote of no confidence resulted into failure after voting

Election Commission, Pakistan Cricket Board, illegally killed the motion in chamber not only without putting it in the motion but also without affording opportunity of hearing to all concerned i.e. 12 office-bearers of District Cricket Association

High Court declared letter/order of Election Commission, Pakistan Cricket Board having been passed without lawful authority and in disregard of law, rules and regulations as resolution of no confidence could only fail after voting was held

High Court directed the authorities to immediately put motion of no confidence for voting purposes

Petition was allowed accordingly.
