The Supreme Court allowed former IPL chairman Lalit Modi to pursue civil remedies against BCCI for payment of penalty under the FEMA to the tune of over ₹10 crore.

- Abraham Thomas

NEW DELHI: The order was passed by a bench of justices PS Narasimha and R Mahadevan on a petition filed by Modi against a Bombay high court decision of Dec 19, 2024 refusing to entertain his writ petition holding that a writ petition is not maintainable against BCCI.

The bench said, "BCCI has been held to be 'state' for functional purposes related to cricket. For recoveries, it cannot be equivalent to state."

The penalty was imposed by the ED against BCCI, Modi and other office-bearers alleging FEMA violation by BCCI during IPL 2009 in South Africa. An amount of ₹10.65 crore was imposed on Modi while varying amounts were imposed against other office-bearers. BCCI was slapped with a penalty of over ₹82 crore. Modi was IPL chairman and BCCI vice-president then.
