The Supreme Court on Tuesday reserved its order in a plea challenging the two-year ban imposed by the court against Indian Premier League (IPL) team Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
A bench led by chief justice T.S. Thakur heard a plea by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Subramanian Swamy to revoke the ban against CSK.
A Supreme Court-appointed panel headed by former judge R.M. Lodha suspended CSK and Rajasthan Royals IPL for two years in the wake of a betting and spot-fixing scandal in 2013.
Swamy had challenged the suspension, alleging that the ban was unjustly imposed. He had also filed a similar plea before the Madras high court which was dismissed in January. The high court also dismissed an appeal against the ban filed by CSK.
The panel suspended Gurunath Meiyappan, team principal of CSK, and Raj Kundra, owner of Rajasthan Royals, for life from all cricket-related activities for betting and bringing the IPL and the game of cricket into “disrepute”.
