The petitioner had sought directions restraining the respondents from creating third-party rights or transferring media and commercial rights associated with the cricket league.

The lawyer for Absolute Legends Sports told the court that the company would file an affidavit disclosing all ongoing commercial transactions, including agreements entered into with other parties. The affidavit will be submitted by all directors of the company and will have details of all receivables.

It also undertook that any amount received from commercial arrangements would be deposited with the court against admitted liabilities, while it will retain the ability to meet operational expenses.

With both sides agreeing to attempt an amicable resolution, the court referred the dispute to the Delhi High Court Mediation and Conciliation Centre and asked the parties to appear before it on March 13. The matter will next be heard on March 17.
