The case is over their comments in the show Koffee with Karan.
Indian cricket team star players Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul have a case registered against them in Jodhpur for their comments on the show Koffee with Karan. The case includes the host of the talk show Karan Johar as well.
Hardik and Rahul had to go through a lot because of their remarks in the show. The two were suspended from playing for India until BCCI took a call on them. Now when the controversy was slowly dying, a case against them has again fueled the fire.
The suspension of Pandya and Rahul was lifted on January 24 and they joined India senior team and A team, respectively.
“Since the adjudication of all allegations of misconduct against any cricketer registered with, inter alia, the BCCI is required to be undertaken by the BCCI Ombudsman, whose appointment is pending directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the CoA is the of the view that the interim suspension orders dated 11.01.2019 should be presently lifted with immediate effect,” the CoA said in a statement when lifting the ban.
The statement added, “The above matter and decision has been taken with the concurrence of the Learned Amicus Curiae, Mr. PS Narasimha. In view of the above, the suspension orders dated 11.01.2019 is immediately lifted pending appointment and adjudication of the allegations by the BCCI Ombudsman.”
