The Chair of the Independent Tribunal, Judge David Casserly, has rejected India's appeal against the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Davis Cup Committee's (DCC) decision. The tribunal ruled that the Davis Cup tie between Pakistan and India will indeed take place in Pakistan.
The All Indian Tennis Association's (AITA) appeal challenging the decision to hold the tie in Pakistan was dismissed after a thorough review of documents submitted by both parties. The tribunal found no compelling reasons to change the venue and upheld the committee's decision.
Addressing concerns raised by India about security, the committee emphasized that no situation in Pakistan prevents the Indian team from traveling and participating in the Davis Cup tie. The tribunal acknowledged that Pakistan had successfully hosted recent Davis Cup ties, demonstrating its capability to ensure a secure and well-organized event.
The committee further assured that maintaining law and order is the responsibility of the host nation, and necessary security measures will be in place for the travel and participation of the Indian team. The ruling concludes the appeal process, confirming that the Davis Cup tie will proceed in Pakistan as originally determined by the ITF Davis Cup Committee.
