NEW DELHI: The Bombay High Court on Thursday ordered the Maharashtra government to provide an explanation for its choice to waive and reduce the arrears from the IPL match organizers in order to fund police deployment, stating that it could not find any justification for the action.
Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Amit Borkar, sitting as a division bench, claimed that while the government was increasing the water tax levies on impoverished people, it was also waiving police cover payments from wealthy cricket tournament organizers, as per PTI.
