HC rejects PIL against Bharat Ratna for Sachin

A PIL opposing Bharat Ratna for Sachin Tendulkar was rejected by the Madras high court on Tuesday. In the petition, advocate Kanagasabai had stated that Bharat Ratna could be conferred only for contribution in arts, literature and science. The court rejected the PIL as the Centre had already relaxed the criteria on Nov-16, 2011 to include persons from any field.
