An appellate tribunal has set aside penalties imposed on former IPL chairman Lalit Modi and other former BCCI officials in connection with the IPL 2009 foreign-exchange case, cricinfo.com reports. Modi said he was looking forward to returning to India after receiving the legal relief. The ruling removes the penalties imposed in the case, but the available report does not provide details of the tribunal’s reasoning or say whether any further legal proceedings remain. It also does not identify the other former BCCI officials or state the penalties involved.
