Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin will move the high court against the ruling which dismissed his appeal against the life ban imposed on him by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in the wake of match-fixing allegations.
"We will move the high court after studying the full text of the judgement," Azhar's lawyer, T Jagdish, said.
"It's not over. In fact, it is just the beginning," Jadish said, hinting at a long legal battle ahead.
The Second Additional Chief judge dismissed Azhar's suit, challenging the life ban imposed on him by the BCCI following an inquiry by former Central Bureau of Investigation director K Madhavan.
Refusing to interfere in the ban imposed on Azharuddin, Justice Dasa Ramaiah dismissed the suit, in which the cricket Board, Madhavan and the then BCCI chief, A C Muthiah, were named as respondents.
In the wake of the match-fixing scandal, the BCCI had set up an inquiry commission headed by Madhavan, on whose report Azharuddin and Ajay Sharma were banned for life by the BCCI.
Azharuddin has maintained all along that he is innocent.
