With a few hours to go before the start of IPL 3 award function in Mumbai,the Delhi High Court on Friday dismissed a plea by an event management company asking to stay the ceremony. The court held that it was too late to accord the relief and that the company,claiming that it was not given the credit for conceptualising the function,should have approached it earlier.

It is too late. Why did you not come earlier? You always knew about the date of the award function and hence knew when your deadline would end. The relief cannot be given to you on the nth day, Justice Rajiv Shakdher told the counsel for Propaganda Media and Marketing.

Appearing for the company,advocate Abhishek Malhotra tried to convince the court that his client Gaurav Garg came to know a week ago that he was not being given the credit and then they served the legal notices to Morani Brothers,Cineyug and the BCCI. The court told the counsel that notices were not required to be given and the delay was such that the function could not be halted now.

Justice Shakdher,however,agreed to hear the main petition that has sought credit to Garg for reportedly conceptualising,marketing and execution of the award for Cineyug as he worked with them in 2008-09.
