Andhra Pradesh high court today ordered the release of Shoaib's passport in the wake of the Hyderabad police seeking closure of a cheating case filed against him by his now divorced wife Ayesha Siddiqui.
Newly-wed couple Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik will leave for Pakistan in few days with the Andhra Pradesh high court today directing the release of the passport of the Pakistani cricketer.
"I heard from someone that I am getting my passport back sometime tomorrow. Actually, I was not waiting for my passport. But, I am getting it by tomorrow," Malik said in Hyderabad today.
Malik said he and Mirza will leave for Pakistan in a few days.
Andhra Pradesh high court today ordered the release of Shoaib's passport in the wake of the city police seeking closure of a cheating case filed against him by his now divorced wife Ayesha Siddiqui.
The direction was given by justice CV Nagarjuna to a Nampally Criminal Court after advocate general DV Sitaram Murthy informed the high court that the police had filed its final report before a magistrate for closure of the case against 28-year-old Malik.
The police had taken away the cricketer's passport on April 5 and submitted it to the 13th additional chief metropolitan magistrate. They asked him not to leave the country after a cheating case was registered against him based on a complaint by Siddiqui, whom he subsequently divorced after denying that he had married her.
After Malik divorced Siddiqui, the Siddiquis submitted an application to the Central Crime Station (CCS) -- a wing of
Hyderabad police which investigated the case -- to withdraw the complaint.
Malik, who moved the high court on April 15, had submitted in his petition that he had reached a compromise with Siddiqui and she had already expressed her willingness to withdraw the case.
After ten days of high drama, Malik married Indian tennis star Mirza in Hyderabad on April 12.
