A Delhi court today stayed the suspension of Delhi & Districts Cricket Association (DDCA) secretary Vinod Tihara by the cricket body earlier this month, terming it as "whimsical and arbitrary act".
Additional District Judge Vishal Singh said that DDCA misused its powers and granted an interim ex-parte injunction in favour of Tihara.
The court also issued notice to the DDCA and its office bearers and sought their response by September 6.
The DDCA had on August 14 suspended Tihara on charges of bringing disrepute to the organization and attempts to "usurp the power" of the board of directors, only a month after he had assumed office.
In its order, the court today said that the "plaintiff has prima facie case against defendant no.1. The whimsical and arbitrary act of suspension of the plaintiff by defendant no.1 (DDCA) in misuse of its powers merits grant of ad interim ex-parte injunction in favour of the plaintiff."
