Supreme Court rejects stay on Jadeja court order

The rehabilitation of Ajay Jadeja progressed by one more notch as the Supreme Court refused to stay a Delhi High Court interim order allowing him to play domestic cricket. The court directed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to approach the division bench of the High Court to seek modifications.

Dismissing the BCCI's petition for a stay, the Supreme Court said: "he [Jadeja] has been allowed to play only domestic cricket."

The vacation bench of the Supreme Court consisted of Justice N Santosh Hegde and Justice Shivaraj Patil. They said that though the next High Court hearing on the matter was scheduled for July 21, the BCCI had the right to approach the High Court before that to make their submission.

Jadeja was present at the court, but refused to comment on the incident. He said that he did not understand the ruling and would consult his lawyers before expressing himself on the matter.
