Maharashtra drought: Bombay High Court suggests shifting IPL matches to other states
Posted by: 2016-04-08 04:09:58 ,By Raj Kumar
QUESTIONING IF people aren?t more important than Indian Premier League matches, the Bombay High Court said on Wednesday that the use of water for maintaining cricket pitches was a criminal waste. The court suggested shifting the 20 matches which are to be played in Maharashtra to other states. ?People don?t get water in Marathwada for three to four days. This is a criminal waste,? said the High Court. The court has now asked the acting Advocate General Rohit Deo to be present for the next hearing.
A division Bench headed by Justice VM Kanade were hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by NGO Loksatta Movement and others stated that as much as 60 lakh litres of water is proposed to be used for maintaining cricket pitches in the three venues that will host the IPL matches in Maharashtra. It further states that drinking water is a priority in accordance with the state water policy. The petitioner was represented by lawyers Arshil Shah and Ankita Verma.
