“The offence in relation to which MCOCA is sought to be invoked pertains to betting and match-fixing, which… does not fit in any penal statute,” the court said. “All the necessary ingredients to establish a prima facie case under the provisions of MCOCA is not made out,” it said.

“Even if entire evidence of prosecution is accepted, then too it is not established that there exists a core crime syndicate of Dawood [Ibrahim] and Chhota Shakeel who have been indulging in the organised offence of betting and match-fixing and also dealing with money so generated through hawala,” it added.

The court had granted bail to Sreesanth, Chavan and other accused of lack of evidence against them under the provisions of stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). However, he never made his comeback into the national squad.
