Asia Cup 2025: Supreme Court Rejects PIL for Urgent Hearing to Cancel India-Pakistan T20 Match, Says, ‘Match Must Go On’
The Supreme Court declined urgent hearing of a plea by four law students seeking to cancel the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match, citing national sentiment and recent terror attacks.
- On Thursday , the Supreme Court of India refused to urgently list a PIL seeking cancellation of the India v. Pakistan match scheduled for September 14 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
- Petitioners argue playing Pakistan after the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor conflicts with national dignity and public sentiment, led by Urvashi Jain and four law students.
- When counsel pressed for urgent listing, the bench asked `Match is this Sunday?` and Justice Maheshwari said, `It's a match, let it be`.
- The petition is listed for hearing on Friday by a bench headed by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai, while the Central Government of India permits India to face Pakistan and BCCI will follow this policy.
- Petitioners also seek implementation of the National Sports Governance Act, 2025 to bring BCCI under the National Sports Board and Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, arguing the match harms national interest and armed forces' morale.
