Andhra HC lifts life ban on Azharuddin from playing cricket

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Thursday Nov 8,2012 set aside the decision of BCCI,12 years after BCCI imposed a life ban on Mohammad Azharduddin from playing cricket.

A bench of justices Ashutosh Mohanta and Krishna Mohan Reddy gave relief to former Indian skipper-turned-politician Azharuddin, allowing his appeal challenging the order of a local court, which had upheld the decision of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The ban was imposed in 2000 by BCCI as per the suggestion of a three-member committee comprising its erstwhile president A C Muthaiah and two vice-presidents Kamal Morarka and K M Ram Prasad in the wake of allegations of match-fixing against Azharuddin.

Presently Azhar is an M.P from Moradabad Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh on a Congress ticket.
