The Delhi High Court has dismissed a plea seeking to stay the elections in cricketing body DDCA, saying it saw no reason to interject the poll process which was set in motion in May and culminating with the polls on June 30. A vacation bench of Justices Vinod Goel and Rekha Palli said it found no merit in the petition moved by a member of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) for putting the election on hold till finalisation of the constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) by the Supreme Court.

"Having considered the rival submissions of the parties, we see no reason at all to interject the election process which has already been set into motion pursuant to a notice of May 14, 2018 and which course of action, has already been approved by the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA)," the bench said in its order which was uploaded on the high court website today. The court had yesterday made its mind clear that there cannot be a stay on the elections in the DDCA as the poll process has already started.
