SC directs de-sealing of stadium
New Delhi: The Supreme Court directed Chennai Corporation to de-seal three stands with 12,000 seats in M A Chidambaram Stadium for Tuesday's IPl match between Chennai Superkings and Delhi Daredevils. A bench of justices B S Chauhan and Dipak Misra, however, said that the stands will remain closed for other matches and they cannot be opened without its permission. Without going into the merits whether the construction of the three stands was illegal or not, the bench allowed their usage, saying that tickets had already been sold for the stands and it would create law and order problem if people were not allowed to get in to watch the match. The court was hearing a petition filed by Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) seeking its direction to de-seal the three stands.
