Venky's court case against the Indian Ministry of Finance has been delayed until January 13.

The Blackburn Rovers owners have been embroiled in court battles with the Indian government for 18 months. It is the fourth time this calendar year that the Court of Delhi has pushed back the hearing against VHPL, Venky's parent company. 

The latest was supposed to be heard on Wednesday, November 13 but once again didn't make the cut. The official documents released state: "It is already 4:30pm. Due to paucity of time, it is not possible to take up this matter today." The new date is then listed.

Blackburn Rovers officials have always reiterated there is no barriers preventing Venky from funding the club. There is an agreement in place that the owners can continue their spending as long as they match each pound with a personal guarantee.

The hearing, which has been repeatedly delayed, is Venky's putting forward their case for that to be removed. Until that's approved, money sent to Rovers will continue to cost them double.

Blackburn Rovers' parent company, Venky's London Limited, released their latest accounts on Wednesday. In the report, it stated if the court does not permit the release of future funds, there will be a “significant impact on BRFC’s ability to continue to trade and therefore on this group remaining a going concern”.

But as this agreement exists, there remains no immediate concern about Venky's ability to fund the club. The court case was last delayed on August 22 and the club still signed five more players before the transfer window shut.

The Lancashire Telegraph revealed that Rovers are expected to be active in the January transfer window, with a striker and winger prioritised by John Eustace and the recruitment team. This latest delay is unlikely to have a bearing on that.

It will be interesting to see whether their budgets alter though, if the case is heard and Venky's no longer have to pay the equivalent monies into a bond.
