  "summary": "Lahore High Court Chief Justice Aalia Neelum has ordered the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) not to harass cricketer Mohammad Rizwan in connection with an inquiry. According to the Daily Times and Dawn, Rizwan had filed a plea against the NCCIA inquiry and a call-up notice.\n\nThe court has instructed Rizwan to cooperate in the inquiry proceedings. Dawn reports that at a September 17 hearing, Justice Neelum refused to entertain Rizwan's plea, directing his lawyer to submit a written response to the NCCIA notice first.\n\nRizwan and fellow cricketer Imamul Haq had appeared before the NCCIA on September 10 following notices served to them. According to Dawn, the court ruled that the inquiry was not without jurisdiction, nor tainted by malice, but aimed at uncovering corruption in sport. The petition was dismissed.",
