Supreme Court Rejects Modi's Plea Against BCCI Penalty
Lalit Modi, once involved with the IPL, wanted the BCCI to pay a fine of 10.65 crore rupees given to him for breaking some rules about money.

But, the High Court and Supreme Court disagreed, saying Modi's request was not valid and he can't make the BCCI pay.
