The tribunal rejected the Enforcement Directorate’s primary argument that the foreign remittances associated with the tournament were capital account transactions.
It also ruled that Modi could not be held responsible for the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) statutory FEMA compliance, nor was he vested with the financial authority alleged by the investigating agency.
The verdict marked a major development in a case that had remained under scrutiny for well over a decade.
