Get Delhi Police their 60 crores, a person approached the High Court with a PIL, the judge counted the benefits of IPL in reverse

New Delhi. With the victory of Kolkata Knight Riders, the noise of IPL in the country has now stopped. The Indian team has left for its next campaign in the form of T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, a petition regarding a mega tournament like Indian Premier League was heard in the Delhi High Court on Tuesday. A person filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the High Court saying that BCCI, which conducts IPL, has to pay Rs 60 crore to Delhi Police in lieu of providing security. The bench of Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora rejected this petition and instead enumerated the benefits of this tournament.

For years, matches of the Delhi Capitals franchise have been organized at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. During this time, it is the responsibility of the Delhi Police to organize the match peacefully in the presence of thousands of fans. The bench said that it is the state’s issue to recover this amount. The court cannot give an order in this regard. The state gets a lot of tax from this. It is capable of recovering the money.

We live in a different mindset…
The High Court said, ‘When you go abroad, you will find that state governments lure corporates to set up operations in their states. They give them various kinds of concessions. We are still living in a different mindset. When you bring such a big corporate to your state, the revenue increases. A PIL cannot be filed in the High Court for everything. Hence this petition is dismissed.
