CSK approaches Madras HC against IPL suspension

August 20, 2015 20:55

The Chennai Super Kings, one of the two teams suspended from the IPL for two years, has challenged the Lodha Committee decision in Madras High Court and has sought a stay on it.

In the affidavit, the company alleged that Lodha Committee order, on July 14, goes against the fundamental principles of natural justice and fair hearing, non-compliance of which is evident from a finding of the committee that the only task left to the committee was imposition of appropriate punishment on the franchise without going into the charges or the offence committed.

The Lodha panel, set up in January by the apex court to determine the quantum of punishment in the case, had also recommended life suspensions on Chennai Super Kings official Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals's Raj Kundra from all cricket-related activities.
