The petition seeking confiscation of assets of cricketers Mohammad Amir, Salman Butt and Mohammad Asif was not admissible, the Lahore High Court revealed on Tuesday.
A citizen had filed the decision demanding that the court should seize their assets because they have been found guilty in spot fixing and embarrassed the nation.
