The Allahabad High Court has directed the Union Government and BCCI to consider a complaint regarding writing the word ‘India’ on the ground where cricket World Cup matches are being held.

A Lucknow division bench comprising Justices Pradeep Kant and Ved Pal passed this order on a writ petition filed by a local NGO seeking direction for removal of word ‘India’ from the cricket match grounds.
