JUDGMENT : 1. Mr. C.A. Sundram, learned senior counsel for the BCCI points out that the Petitioner has filed an independent writ petition before the High Court at Bombay in which issues that arise for consideration in these proceedings are also sought to be agitated. He urged that the proceedings before the Bombay High Court could be stayed pending final disposal of these matters. Ms. Nalini Chidambaram, learned senior counsel however in reply concluded that the scope of the petition filed before the Bombay High Court is totally different inasmuch as the said petition is concerned only with the validity of Rules 6.2.4. and 15 of the Rules and Regulations of BCCI. She urged that the proceedings before the Bombay High Court shall not spill beyond the consideration of the validity of the said provisions and that the apprehension expressed by the BCCI that the issues arising for consideration before this Court may also be agitated before the Bombay High Court is misplaced. 2. In the light of the statement made by Ms. Chidambaram, we have no difficulty in saying that the petition pending before the Bombay High Court shall remain confined to the examination of the validity of the Rules mentioned above. Issues that fall for consideration in these proceedings need not therefore be brought within the sweep of the proceedings before the Bombay High Court. List these matters on 14.11.2014 at 2.00 P.M.
