Bombay HC Questions Rationale Behind Protection Fee Waiver for Cricket Matches

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court said on Thursday that prima facie there was no rationale behind Maharashtra government’s decision to reduce the fees for police protection provided to cricket matches held in the state since 2011. Upadhyay and Justice Amit Borkar criticised Maharashtra government’s decision to retrospectively reduce police protection fees for cricket matches, including Indian Premier League T20 cricket matches. The petition stated that according to a government resolution of 2017, the police protection fee chargeable in Mumbai was Rs 66 lakh per match for T20 and ODI cricket and Rs 55 lakh for Test cricket. As per a GR issued on November 12, 2018, the police protection fee was increased to Rs 70 lakh for T20, Rs 75 lakh for ODI and Rs 60 lakh for Test matches held in Mumbai.
