Overview
- A law student’s PIL asked the court to bar Bangladesh from the men’s T20 World Cup and to make the ICC probe alleged attacks on Hindus.
- Chief Justice D. K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia said such reliefs involve foreign affairs beyond judicial remit.
- The bench stressed that no writ lies against the ICC, foreign cricket boards, or the Bangladesh High Commission.
- The judges rebuked the petitioner for misusing PIL jurisdiction and warned of heavy costs for wasting court time.
- After objections on maintainability, the petitioner withdrew the case, which the court dismissed with no directions to any entity.
