In a significant development, Lahore High Court convened a hearing today to address a petition filed against the auction of media rights for the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9. Presided over by Justice Shahid Bilal Hassan, the courtroom was abuzz with discussions surrounding alleged irregularities in the auction process.

The petition, lodged by the PTV Workers Union and represented by Advocate Rana Intezar Hussain, raised serious concerns regarding the transparency and fairness of the media rights auction conducted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
