In his petition, one Suresh Babu, residing at Netaji Nagar in Gummidipoondi, contended that normally October to December every year was the period of the northeast monsoon. 

Already in the past, a one-day match featuring India and New Zealand was washed out due to rains. Also, the last day of the India-Australia cricket Test match last year was affected due to rains. Similarly, the recent one-dayer against South Africa had to be abandoned due to rains. Hence, the petitioner sought an interim stay on the India-Sri Lanka Test match. (Our Correspondent)
