New Delhi : Relieved by High Court’s direction to MCD for issuance of provisional occupancy certificate required to stage the India-South Africa Test, DDCA vice-president Chetan Chauhan welcomed the appointment of Justice Mukul Mudgal to oversee the affairs of the final match at Feroz Shah Kotla.
DDCA had got a one-day lifeline by the BCCI yesterday after it overshot the original deadline set by the Indian cricket board to get all the necessary clearances to host the fourth Test. The state government then moved HC with a plea seeking a direction to South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) over issuing a POC.
After the hearing spilled over to Day 2, DDCA finally got a relief from the honourable court and Chauhan thanked the judiciary. “A major hurdle has been crossed and we have got relief. We also welcome Justice Mudgal to oversee the match and its organising,” Chauhan said. “He (Mudgal) is a good man, a cricket lover and very reasonable. He is very impartial and we are happy to carry on our duties under his guidance,” the former India cricketer said.
