IPL founder Lalit Modi says he plans to return to India after receiving legal relief that ends a long-running dispute tied to the 2009 IPL foreign exchange and money-laundering case. NDTV reports that Modi said an Appellate Tribunal ruling in the case brings an end to what he described as a 16-year legal battle, clearing the way for him to come back to the country. Other outlets, including The Economic Times and India Today, also report that Modi is set to return to India following the relief, describing the timeline as spanning roughly 16 years. The reports frame the development primarily as a result of the tribunal’s decision, which Modi says affects the status of the 2009 case and his ability to return. Across the accounts, the central point is that Modi publicly announces his intent to return after the legal resolution. Details about the specific conditions of his return, such as any restrictions or timelines imposed by authorities, are not included in the provided excerpts.
