Jaipur: Rajasthan High Court on Monday stayed
investigation into the alleged disrespect to the national flag
during an IPL match in 2007, in which cricket administrator
Lalit Modi is one of the accused.
The order was passed by Justice Karni Singh Rathore
while modifying the interim order passed by a local court
which had pulled up police for slackness in the investigation.
It was hearing a petition filed by Modi challenging the
orders of the city trial court to register an FIR and
investigate the matter.
Complainant Kamlesh Sharma had alleged that liquor was
served in the VIP lounge of the SMS stadium and the tricolour
was used as a table cover where wine was served to Pakistani
visitors during an India-Pakistan match at the behest of Modi.
