HC dismisses Hiken Shah's plea against suspension by BCCI

Observing that the allegations of corruption levelled against Mumbai cricketer Hiken Shah were of serious nature, the Bombay High Court today dismissed a petition filed by him challenging BCCI's order suspending him for flouting its anti-corruption code. The cricket body suspended Shah, a batsman who was part of Mumbai Ranji squad, on July 13 after he was found guilty of making "corrupt approach" to a team-mate who was also a member of Rajasthan Royals IPL franchise. <br/><br/>Shah approached the High Court claiming that he was not given a hearing before BCCI passed its order and hence the suspension should be set aside. A division bench was, however, of the view that the allegations against Shah were serious. The court, while dismissing the petition, said Shah can approach BCCI's disciplinary committee if he wishes to.
