The High Court rejected the writ petition hours after it was filed on Wednesday seeking a stay order on holding the final match of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) tournament.
The HC turned down the petition as a civil case involving the matter remains pending with a Dhaka court.
During the hearing of the petition, the HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim said the petition is not acceptable as it was filed against a private company.
Samir Quader Chowdhury, CEO of Chittagong Kings and owner of the team, filed the writ petition on Wednesday just hours before the final match is set to begin in Dhaka.
Chittagong Kings, a team of the BPL tournament, filed the case with a Dhaka court on Wednesday as the BPL authorities in the wee hours on Tuesday taking a U-turn decided to allow Barisal Burners to play in the semifinal match.
Earlier on Monday, the BPL authorities had announced Chittagong Kings as the fourth-qualified semifinalist.
In response to the case, Judge Md Shawkat Hossain of the First Assistant Judge's Court on Wednesday summoned seven officials of the BPL on March 15 to explain their role in allowing Barisal Burners to play against Duronto Rajshahi in the first semifinals.
After filing of the writ petition on Wednesday, the HC bench of Justice Mirza Hossain Haider and Justice Muhammad Khurshid Alam Sarkar had felt embarrassed and refused to accept the petition for hearing.
Later, another HC bench comprising Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Selim held the hearing on the petition.
In the writ petition, Samir sought directive from the HC upon the BPL authorities to cancel the first semifinal match held between Barisal Burners and Duronto Rajshahi on Tuesday and appealed for holding a fresh semifinal match.
The petitioner also prayed to the court to issue a rule upon the authorities concerned to explain why the exclusion of Chittagong Kings from the list of semifinalist and providing Barisal Burners the opportunity to play the match should not be declared illegal.
The petitioner also sought the court directive for an explanation from the authorities concerned why Chittagong Kings should not be declared valid as semifinalist.
