A division bench of the Kerala High Court today restored the life ban imposed on cricketer S Sreesanth by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in the wake of the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal. The bench, comprising Chief Justice Navaniti Prasad Singh and Justice Raja Vijayaraghavan, gave the verdict on a petition filed by the BCCI against a single-judge bench's order, lifting the life ban imposed on the 34-year-old pacer. The single-judge bench of Justice A Muhamed Mustaque had on August 7 lifted the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI. Justice Mustaque had also set aside all proceedings against Sreesanth initiated by the board.Sreesanth and all the 35 other accused in the spot-fixing case were let off by a Patiala House court in July, 2015. The BCCI, however, had refused to alter its disciplinary decision even after the verdict. Following which Sreesanth had challenged the life ban against him in Kerala High Court.
