KOLKATA: Claiming that they are entitled to free tickets for the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches to be held in Kolkata, Bengal Cricket Lovers' Forum today filed a case against Shahrukh Rukh Khan's 'Red Chillies Entertainment', CAB, and the BCCI at the City Civil Court on Monday.
According to Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) rules, life, annual and associate members are entitled to watch all matches at Eden Gardens free of cost except for charity games, petitioners' lawyer Ajay Sanyal claimed.
The forum has been floated by nearly 6,000 of the total 31,000 members of CAB, sources said.
Claiming that the rights and privileges of all the CAB members are being infringed by asking them to pay for viewing the IPL cricket matches to be held here from April, Sanyal told PTI that the Forum has filed the prayer before the court seeking restoration of the members' rights.
Apart from Red Chillies, CAB, its President Prasun Mukherjee and BCCI have been made parties in the case filed by the forum.
Shahrukh's Red Chillies is the franchisee owner of the team 'Kolkata Knight Riders' that will play in BCCI's multi-million Dollar Twenty-20 league.
Sanyal said the case is likely to be taken up by a judge at the City Civil Court tomorrow.
