New Delhi: Highlighting the problem of match-fixing which had rocked Indian cricket in 2000 with former captain Mohammad Azharuddin's name cropping up, a court here on Saturday expressed anguish that "no laws have been enacted till date to cover these situations."
"It may be worth the while to mention here that a similar situation in regard to fixing of players had arisen in the year 2000 vis-a-vis the famous players Azharuddin and others. A preliminary inquiry was conducted by CBI but it was reported that no offence under the penal statute of India was made out against these players who had indulged in session/match-fixing.”
"Despite being aware of the situation, no laws have been enacted till date to cover these situations," Additional Sessions Judge Neena Bansal Krishna said.
