It's confirmed now.
Deccan Chargers have been terminated from the Indian Premier League. The
franchise was told by the Bombay High Court to furnish a bank guarantee
of Rs 100 crore by 5 pm Friday but it has failed to do so, leaving the
court with no other choice.
The Deccan Chargers representatives sought another extension but the court said no to their request.
Earlier in the day, there were rumours that Deccan Chronicle Holdings –
the owners, sold the team to a Mumbai-basaed real-estate company Kamla
Landmarc, which is owned by Jitendra Jain.
In a letter directed to the National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock
Exchange, Deccan said: "This is to inform you that pursuant to its
Meeting of the Board of Directors held on October 11, 2012, it was
resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to sell, transfer/dispose
off the Deccan Chargers Franchise business undertakings/business
division of the Company to Kamla Landmarc Real Estate Holdings Private
Limited."
However, the BCCI is yet to confirm the sale.
The Indian cricket board axed the franchise last month after the
owners failed to sort out their financial woes. After that, the
franchise moved court.
