Chennai, January 20
The Madras High Court on Wednesday dismissed a plea challenging the two-year suspension of Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The bench dismissed the petition filed by the team’s new owner CSK Cricket Limited on the grounds that it was not maintainable within the limitations prescribed by the Supreme Court.
The bench also dismissed the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy on the same grounds. Swamy, however, asserted after the hearing that he now intends to approach the Supreme Court against the verdict.
The CSK owners in their petition had alleged that the actual offender behind the betting and spot-fixing scandal had walked scot-free and only the cricketers contracted with the franchise have been affected by the ban. — PTI
