Mumbai, April 20: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday allowed the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiants to be held in Pune on May 1 as scheduled, despite having earlier ordered that all IPL matches scheduled to be held in Maharashtra after April 30 be shifted out of the state.

The decision was given by a division bench comprising Justice V.M. Kanade and Justice MS Karnik after hearing an application filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) general manager (games development) Ratnakar Shetty, urging the court to allow the match to be held as scheduled, citing logistical and other difficulties in shifting it to another venue.
