Shift all IPL matches to be held after April 30 out of Maharashtra, rules Bombay HC

Mumbai, Apr 13 (IBNS): In a significant development, the Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed to shift all Indian Premier League matches to be held after April 30 out of drought-hit Maharashtra.

Following the decision, 13 IPL matches will be needed to be shifted out of Maharashtra.

Amid drought situation in Maharashtra, the Bombay High Court on April 6 questioned the BCCI and cricket associations in Maharashtra and Mumbai over the issue of use of water for maintaining cricket pitches in the state.

The court said 20 matches of the league, which are scheduled to be played in Maharashtra, should be shifted to states that have abundant water.

The observation was made by a division Bench of the court headed by Justice V M Kanade while it was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by NGO Loksatta Movement.
