Speaking on the decision by Supreme Court, BAI President and
PBL Chairman Dr. Akhilesh Das Gupta stated: “Some vested interests were
against the spirit of the game and they have been trying to create hurdles. The
recent issue raised by them was totally baseless. The Badminton Association of
India (BAI) didn’t even know of any such details. We are grateful to the
honourable Supreme Court, who has always supported the right and in this case
also, it has favoured us by quashing the stay order. The Premier Badminton
League is now clear of all obstacles and the Supreme Court’s order is big
assurance to all the stakeholders, including franchisees, players, coaches and
sponsors.”
