Supreme court rejects petition challenging ban on CSK

The Supreme Court of India has dismissed a petition filed by Bharatiya Janta Party leader Subramanian Swamy that challenged the 2-year ban imposed on CSK by the apex court on Friday.

The ban was imposed on Chennai Super Kings in 2015 as they were prohibited from participating in cash-rich Indian Premier League for two seasons along with Rajasthan Royals as the Lodha panel that was appointed by the Supreme Court has found Gurunath Meiyappan guilty of betting during 2013 IPL season.

The bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said the ban was placed on a recommendation of Lodha committee as well as per IPL rules. However, petitioner Swamy has claimed that the team was the victim of a conspiracy and has earlier filed a petition in Madras High Court in an attempt of redemption for Chennai Super Kings. But the Supreme Court has said the Madras High Court had rightly dismissed Swamy’s PIL challenging the ban on CSK.

“They did not want a Tamilian to build a world class and champion team. When they found that there was no allegation against Srinivasan, they conspired to oust him through devious methods. I have the trail of emails exchanged between Varma, Modi and Manohar to prove the existence of a conspiracy,” Swamy had said.

When the court asked Swamy why CSK nor its members have challenged the decision, Swamy insisted that Tamilian pride was hurt with Srinivasan quitting both CSK and BCCI as he accused “Mumbai lobby” did not want him to continue.

“There is no allegation of wrongdoing by CSK or any of its players. Yet, it is banned by the Supreme Court for two years. Srinivasan was targeted unnecessarily because of a conspiracy. The punishment given to the Chennai Super Kings and Srinivasan was arbitrary, especially when the Supreme Court had found no wrongdoing by both,” Swamy had said.
