PRESS RELEASE
Mumbai, November 16, 2012: In a severe
censure against the conduct of cricketing activities by the BCCI, an Arbitral
Tribunal consisting eminent Jurists, Justice A.S. Anand (Retd.), Former Chief
Justice of India; Justice Y.K. Sabharwal (Retd.), Former Chief Justice of India
and Justice B.N. Srikrishna (Retd.), Former Judge, Supreme Court of India, has
held that the BCCI is guilty of "exploiting its dominant position"
in respect of game of cricket in India and has also held the BCCI guilty of
unfair conduct against ZEE. The tribunal has held that ZEE was treated unfairly
in its commercial contracts, due to the launch of the Indian Cricket League and
was illegally blacklisted.
The Award was passed in favour of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited (ZEE)
holding that BCCI was guilty of breaching its contract with ZEE and that ZEE
was entitled to damages on all counts including loss of goodwill, loss of
profit and also refund of security deposit with interest. The Tribunal passed
an award of approximately Rs. 140 crores to be paid by BCCI to ZEE by 1st
December, 2012, failing which the amount would carry interest at 11% p.a. till
payment.
Punit Goenka, Managing
Director and CEO, ZEE commented, "ZEE welcomes the Award
handed over to it by an eminent panel of jurists. This award is towards
recovery of the losses that we have incurred in the sports business in the
past. We continue to remain committed to our sports business in the long
term."
This dispute pertains to an Agreement executed in April 2006 between BCCI and
ZEE whereby ZEE was granted the exclusive media rights to telecast all ODIs to
be held between India and any other country in any neutral territory outside
India for a period of 5 years. This Agreement was terminated illegally and
invalidly by BCCI in May 2007 around the time of launch of the Indian Cricket
League (ICL) by the Essel Group resulting in ZEE invoking arbitration for
wrongful termination of the contract.
The termination of the Agreement by BCCI after the series held in Abu Dhabi and
the tri-series held in Malaysia was termed by the Hon’ble Tribunal as
"clearly illegal and invalid". In fact the Hon’ble Tribunal mentions
in the Award that "we are of the view that breach of agreement dated
12.04.2006 was committed by BCCI and not by the Claimant" (ZEE).
While passing the Award, the Hon’ble Tribunal observed that, "It appears
from the material on the record that BCCI took the action of termination of
claimants rights under Agreement dated 12.4.2006 on account of Claimant
launching of ICL and not for reasons made out in its letter of termination".
The Award further goes on to state that "To us it seems that BCCI was
exploiting its dominating position in respect of game of cricket in
India".
The Award amount of approximately Rs. 1400.000 Millions payable by BCCI to ZEE
includes the Security Deposit of Rs. 300.000 Millions with interest @11% p.a.
from 31st May, 2007, loss of profit, loss of goodwill, etc. The Hon’ble
Tribunal also observed that the BCCI blacklisting of ZEE (and its
group/affiliate companies) from participating in any bidding process of BCCI was
"clearly illegal".
