The Kerala High Court on Friday sent a notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India on a petition filed by tainted India cricketer S Sreesanth seeking to lift the lifetime ban imposed on him, The Times of India reported.
Sreesanth had filed a petition on Wednesday seeking court’s direction to the BCCI to allow him to play in the Scottish Premier League in April.
In his petition, Sreesanth had cited the trial court’s observation that “no prima facie case in any offence including Section 3 of MCOCA is made out against the accused persons and they are entitled to be discharged.”
All the 36 accused, including Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, were discharged in the IPL 6 spot-fixing case in July 2015.
Sreesanth has argued that the BCCI panel which inquired the matter had made its report against him based on the information provided by the Delhi Police.
