The Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud on Monday (May 7) dismissed a petition by Atul Kumar, who had asked the top court to look into the issue of match-fixing in cricket.<\/p>\n
He had claimed that there is regular fixing in cricket and this is a big racket, but the government is not taking any action.<\/p>\n
On the last date of hearing the court had directed Union of India to assist the court.<\/p>\n
Today Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh appeared in the matter on behalf of the respondents (the government) and the petitioner appeared in person.<\/p>\n
