The Bombay High Court has upheld arbitral awards directing the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to pay a total of ₹538 crore to Kochi Cricket Private Limited (₹385.50 crore) and Rendezvous Sports World (₹153.34 crore) in connection with the now-defunct Kochi Tuskers IPL franchise. The court ruled that BCCI's termination of the Kochi IPL franchise in 2011 constituted a repudiatory breach of contract and dismissed BCCI's plea against the arbitration award. The legal dispute has been ongoing since the franchise's termination, and the court's decision marks a setback for BCCI, requiring the board to make the payments as ordered.
