Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik [ Images ] on Friday moved the Andhra Pradesh High Court for a direction to Central Crime Station police in Hyderabad to release his passport.

The Banjara Hills police had seized Shoaib's passport during the investigation into a complaint lodged by his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui.

Malik, who recently married tennis star Sania Mirza [ Images ], approached the court and said that the issue between him and Ayesha has been resolved amicably and police has no reason to detain his passport.

Justice C V Nagarjuna [ Images ] Reddy heard the arguments of the counsel for Shoaib Malik and adjourned the matter to Monday for his judgement.
