Mehra block at the Ferozshah Kotla Stadium for conducting the World Twenty20 semifinal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A division bench of Justices S. Muralidhar and Justice Vibhu Bakhru said it had no &quot;control&quot; over the International Cricket Council&#39;s (ICC) stand on lack of completion certificate for the block even as the DDCA contended that it could lead to shifting of the semifinal to another venue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The court told the DDCA to instead to sort the matter out with the ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Justice Mudgal, appointed by the high court to oversee the functioning of the DDCA, has asked the cricketing body not to sell tickets of the semi-final for the R.P. Mehra block, which has an around 2,000 capacity. The court also said that it should be used only by the broadcasters and the media.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ICC&#39;s stand was that if any of the blocks remain vacant, then the semi-final would be shifted to other venue, senior advocate Sandeep Sethi, representing the DDCA, told the court.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The DDCA had moved the court seeking to a direction to South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) to issue the requisite certificate for the R.P. Mehra block saying tickets have already been sold for the block.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But, the court said: &quot;We cannot give you the permission. It has to be in terms of the earlier order passed by this court (that had said no permission without all the requisite clearances)&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The DDCA, then, withdraw the petition from the court saying it would instead make appropriate representation to authorities on the issue.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agency<\/p>\r\n",
