>> The IPL Governing Council cited clause 12(1) in the bidding document to grant the Kochi consortium an additional 30 days to register under the Companies Act. It was a mandatory process ufffd BCCI would have been violating provisions of the original contract if it had expelled Kochi without giving them a notice.
