Lahore, Apr 26 (PTI) A local court here has summoned Shoaib Malik on May 3 for the hearing of a petition which claims that the former Pakistan captain has hurt the sentiments of his fans by selling invitation cards of his wedding reception in Sialkot. Additional sessions judge, Muhammad Rafiq has admitted the petition by Abid Ali for hearing and issued the summons. The petitioner has stated that he was a big fan of Malik and couldn''t afford to buy the invitation card priced at 15,000 rupees. "The petitioner has pleaded that by selling invitation cards, Malik has hurt the sentiments and feelings of his fans. There is also an allegation that even those who purchased cards were not allowed entry into the wedding reception held on Sunday in Sialkot," a lawyer said. He said in all probability Malik''s lawyer would appear before the local court on May 3. In another petition filed today in the Lahore High Court, a citizen has alleged that Shoaib Malik and his family violated government regulations while organising their wedding reception in Sialkot yesterday. Hasan Shahzad in his petition has prayed that the Lahore High Court should take notice of the fact that electricity was wasted and the one-dish rule for weddings was violated at the reception. "Basically the Lahore High Court will now decide whether the petition has merit to be admitted for regular hearing," a senior lawyer said. The petitioner has said that during the wedding reception Malik and his family despite several warnings from WAPDA made extravagant use of electricity to decorate their house and the reception venue. He has also alleged that while the government has made it mandatory that only one dish is allowed to be served at marriages, Malik and his family had several dishes on their menu.
