TASMAC FIRs shall not be closed for now, AG assures Madras High Court
The Madras High Court on Thursday recorded the submission of Advocate General P.S. Raman that he would advise the Home Secretary to not close, for the present, any of the First Information Reports (FIRs) based on which Directorate of Enforcement (ED) had begun a money laundering probe against Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC) officials. A Division Bench of Justices G.R. Swaminathan and V. Lakshminarayanan recorded the submission and adjourned by three weeks a public interest litigation petition filed by Tirunelveli based advocate Kutty alias K. Venkatachalapathy seeking transfer of all those FIRs from the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti Corruption (DVAC) to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The petitioner feared the money laundering probe by the ED would get sabotaged if the DVAC ends up closing all the FIRs related to the predicate offence of corruption. Therefore, he insisted on issuing a direction to transfer the FIRs from the DVAC to the CBI.

T20 leagues will dominate world cricket: W.V. Raman
Former India cricketer W.V. Raman on Saturday said that T20 leagues will dominate the future of cricket globally. 'It (cricket) is going to take the route of football in terms of governance, the way I see it. What will happen is that there will be a lot of (T20) leagues sprouting across the globe. It's also a thing players would encourage because they get to play across the globe, they get to make a lot more money, and they're not really controlled by anybody. They don't have to sign contracts where they are bound by a lot of things. Footloose, fancy-free, a lot of money, and a lot of razzmatazz. What more do you need? I think that's the way it's going to be,' W.V. Raman said here at the panel discussion of the book on Chennai Super Kings, Leo, authored by the Advocate General of Tamil Nadu and CSK insider, P.S. Raman. On the future of Test cricket, W.V. Raman said: 'It will survive if the administrators look at making it a bit interesting or try and get a level playing field. By this, I mean they need to have a two-tier system. I think the ICC missed a trick way back in the 90s, when they should have perhaps thought of making the different nations in the Caribbean islands play and bring in another division with one or two promotions and demotions'.
