The Karnataka High Court on Friday directed that no coercive or precipitative action be taken against the management of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) until the next hearing, provided they fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation into the tragic stampede outside Chinnaswamy Stadium that left 11 dead and over 50 injured.
