The British Newspaper News Of The World is being sued by the Hollywood couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt for publishing inaccurate allegations about their relationship.
In a story published on 24 January, News Of The World revealed that the couple would separate and had agreed the division of assets and custody of their children.
The action comes following the publication by the News of the World of allegations that Jolie and / or Pitt had visited a divorce lawyer in December, and that an agreement had been reached between them regarding custody of their children and the dividing of their joint assets of £205m. The newspaper added that the agreement had been signed last month and that the separation would occur imminently.
However, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lawyer, Keith Schilling, called the “widely republished” allegations “false and intrusive” and the paper had failed to meet “reasonable demands” for an apology.
KARACHI: Pakistan's former captain Younis Khan has sent a legal notice to the British tabloid which had alleged that he had also signed brothers Mazhar and Azhar Majeed, who act as agents for several Pakistani cricketers.
Reliable sources close to Younis said, the former captain instructed his lawyer, Ahmed Qayyum to issue the notice to 'News of the World' for publishing a report which said that Azhar and Mazhar were the agents of Younis.
The source said Younis was one of the few Pakistani players who had refused to sign Azhar and Majeed as agents for them in England.
M azhar Majeed is at the centre of a new match-fixing scandal and was arrested and later released on bail for trying to defraud bookmakers.
Mazhar claimed that he had paid bribes to some Pakistani players, including captain Salman Butt, for spot-fixing in the fourth Test against England at Lord's.
Mazhar's claims have set off a major investigation by the ICC and the Scotland Yard into fixing allegations.
"Yes the notice has been sent and in it Younis has demanded that the newspaper publish a denial and also pay damages of $10,000 pounds towards the flood relief fund for the millions of Pakistanis displaced by the floods," the source said.
"The brothers approached Pakistani players to sign them on during the 2006 tour and Younis refused," the source added.
The brothers are believed to have formalised their relations with members of the Pakistan squad on the 2006 tour and, though it remains unclear whether any official agreement was signed, over a number of years Azhar and Mazhar have handled various sponsorship and marketing contracts for the players in the UK.
Younis stepped down as captain of the Pakistan side last November after an ODI series loss to New Zealand, claiming that he no longer had control over his players.
He was called up for the ODI series in Australia where he played under Mohammad Yousuf's leadership. Soon after the series he was punished by a PCB inquiry committee which ruled that he would not be picked for future Pakistan squads for an indefinite period of time.
Younis appealed against the decision when it was referred back to the PCB by a tribunal. It has remained there, however, reportedly due to personal differences between PCB chairman Ejaz Butt and Younis.
Despite calls by a number of ex-players, Younis has not returned either to the Test or ODI side since the Australia series.

PCB has also decided to sue 'The News Of the World' Newspaper, as has been reported by Dunya TV.
And the silence, Benny is talkin about, may be due to inability and incompetance of managment of PCB. But finally a positive step by PCB.
These are all supporting evidences in the eyes of the court. The real evidence is still missing from the stage!
Lets await for the court's decision for now
Well you know nothing about the legal procedure and Pakistan cricket will not be banned but the players itself....... and that too for the rest of their livesyour former cricketer r.raja who is also commentator he tell it a watertight case.and the crime has been done in uk not in pak so you cant to any thing. if the case is proven pakistan cricket will be ban for atleast 1 year.
PCB has already issued statements like the guilty will be punished .. etc etc..
If it was all false there was no point in releasing statements earlier.
Using Scotland-yard to pin down Aamer seems to be a bad/big argument.
Btwn will Veena Malik be also sued?
The ciminals should be punished. Bad about Aamir. He's one of the outstanding bowlers..................missed by PCT.
