Dalmiya withdraws suit against BCCI

Kolkata, November 12: Former Indian cricket boss Jagmohan Dalmiya today withdrew a civil suit filed by him against the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI).

In view of revocation of expulsion by BCCI in its last AGM, the suit which challenged the expulsion became infructuous and hence withdrawn, Dalmiya’s lawyer Ushanath Banerjee said.

The suit, which was pending before Justice Sanjib Banerjee, was today mentioned before his court by Dalmiya’s counsels who sought its withdrawl.

The prayer was granted by Justice Banerjee.

Having apparently patched up with Pawar and his group after they fell out with his one-time foe Lalit Modi, Dalmiya withdrew the suit.

The process of reconciliation between Dalmiya and BCCI started at its AGM when it decided to revoke his suspension and also withdrew a civil suit that the board had filed against the Cricket Association of Bengal chief.
