Andhra Pradesh High Court today dismissed a case against the Board of Control for Cricket in India president Sharad Pawar and five others over alleged irregularities in the sale of tickets for the India-Australia one-dayer held here in October.

Justice G V Seetapathi dismissed the case filed by P Radhakrishna, a former Rajya Sabha member, on the grounds that there was no evidence to substantiate the charges.

The order came on the basis of a petition filed by Hyderabad Cricket Association challenging a lower court order on registering an FIR against Pawar, BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, HCA president and Andhra Pradesh minister G Vinod, its secretary Shivlal Yadav and two others.

The Third Metropolitan Magistrate court here, on November 2, directed police to register an FIR against the cricket administrators based on the petition filed by Radhakrishna.

The petitioner alleged only 15,000 out of the total 39,000 tickets were available to the public while the remaining were sold to VIPs, corporates and others.
