NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed Deccan Chronicle's petition seeking stay of termination of their cash-strapped IPL team Deccan Chargers.

The decision meant that the BCCI auction of the franchise slot will go as scheduled.

Deccan Chargers had moved the Supreme Court against the team's termination from the IPL by the BCCI.

The Deccan Chargers challenged the Bombay High Court order refusing to set aside a status quo order passed by an arbitrator on cessation of its membership in the league.

The appeal against the High Court order was mentioned by senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi before a bench headed by Chief Justice Altamas Kabir.

On Thursday, the Deccan Chargers had suffered their second major setback in less than a week, this time failing to win the much-needed judicial protection against the termination notice by the BCCI.

Justice RD Dhanuka of the Bombay high court rapped the cash-strapped IPL franchise by observing that the fresh arbitration petition filed by them for a stay on termination was nothing but an "abuse of the judicial process".

The Hyderabad team had moved the court again on Wednesday even though its earlier petition had been rejected over a bank guarantee that could not be furnished by owners Deccan Chronicle Holdings Limited (DCHL).

The franchise claimed that there were "fresh developments and changed circumstances", including a new buyer in Mumbai-based Landmarc Developers for Rs 1250 crore, which could help undo its financial crisis.

The court did not grant DC any interim relief on their new plea either.

The HC judge had last Saturday overturned the court-appointed arbitrator -- retired SC judge CK Thakkar's -- stay order when the IPL franchise failed to furnish the Rs 100-crore bank guarantee as was mandated.

The BCCI promptly claimed that it meant the exit of DC from the IPL and even floated tenders to sell the team, prompting the team to move the court again.

The original notice was issued by BCCI on the IPL franchise for breaches of their 2008 agreement.

The franchise immediately sought judicial recourse, challenging the termination. On October 1 the HC allowed them to participate in IPL 6 next April if they furnished the bank guarantee within ten days. By then DC had paid their players' dues for the fifth season. The HC had denied any further extension of time to DCHL to furnish the guarantee last Friday.
