As per case facts, Deccan Arsenal Cricket Club, an affiliated member of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), experienced repeated interference from respondents in its player registrations for the B Division 2-Day ... League Championship 2025-26. Despite earlier court orders allowing player registration and replacement in a previous Writ Petition for the same tournament rules, respondents later refused to permit replacement players for knockout and playoff stages, claiming the prior order was limited to league matches. This refusal made the club unable to field a team. The club argued that the tournament notification applies uniformly to all phases and respondents' actions were arbitrary and inconsistent with previous judicial directives. The question arose whether respondents could selectively apply tournament rules and deny player registration/replacement, effectively excluding the petitioner club, despite previous court orders and uniform rule application. Finally, the court held that respondents' conduct was arbitrary and legally unsustainable. It directed the respondents to permit the petitioner club to register and replace players strictly as per the tournament notification for all remaining matches, including knockouts and playoffs, provided eligibility conditions are met.
