It ruled that BCCI is not a “State” under Article 226 for internal financial disputes. While Modi can pursue civil remedies, writ jurisdiction is not applicable for private indemnity claims.

The court emphasized that compliance with procedure and statutory means such as registered post or e-mail is to be followed for legal notice. It held that WhatsApp communication, which is allowed only as a pandemic exception, is against natural justice when used otherwise. The order of confiscation was therefore set aside, and fresh notice was directed.
