SC Dismisses 'Frivolous' Plea Against Calling BCCI Cricket Squad 'Team India'

• The Supreme Court dismissed a plea seeking to prevent Prasar Bharati from referring to the BCCI's cricket team as 'Team India'.
• A bench including Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi upheld the Delhi High Court's earlier rejection of the PIL.
• The court criticized the petitioner, advocate Reepak Kansal, for wasting judicial time with a 'frivolous' petition.
• The plea argued that calling a private entity like BCCI's team 'Team India' misleads the public and violates laws on national symbols.
• The bench questioned the petitioner, asking if the team playing internationally does not represent India, regardless of BCCI's private status.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court rejects plea to stop calling BCCI's cricket team 'Team India', deeming it frivolous.
