Soon he takes BCCI, MCA to Pune civil court and demands natural justice. The Civil Court stays the ban, which raises hopes for Kale, but District Court enforces it again.

SEEKING ORDER December, 2003: Based on Subba Rao8217;s report BCCI forms a three-member probe panel. Bombay HC refers back the case to the Civil Court
SLOG OVERS January-June, 2004: BCCI panel meets and issues a show cause notice to Kale giving him 15 days to explain but Kale demands more time to reply. The Civil Court meanwhile reverses its earlier decision, says the ban should not be lifted. Finally Kale replies to the notice and is called after a gap of four months April 2004 to meet the panel twice in a fortnight. The 30-year-old breaks down and offers apology.
