The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to former BCCI president N.
Srinivasan and Niranjan Shah on the complaint made by Committee of
Administrators (CoA) that they ‘hijacked’ the June 26 Special General Meeting
of the sporting body and blocked reforms. The Apex Court has adjourned the
matter for July 24. The court has asked how the duo can they be
representatives of any cricket body if they are disqualified to be office
bearers.
Citing the audio recording from the meet the
COA said, “From an audio recording of the SGM, it appears that such
disqualified persons were able to effectively hijack proceedings at the SGM by
prevailing upon other attendees (who may have been otherwise willing to
facilitate the reform process) to either support the cause of such disqualified
person or remain silent”.
“In this manner, such disqualified persons
are effectively able to do indirectly what they have been prohibited by this
Hon’ble Court from doing directly,” the CoA said. “Such disqualified persons
have a vested interest in stalling implementation of the Judgement because, if
the Judgment is implemented, such disqualified person will have to relinquish
control over their respective State/Member Associations.”
Supreme Court has also relieved Ramchandra
Guha and Vikram Limaye from the CoA. Guha had stepped down from the post
in June while Limaye held his position till Friday. Vinod Rai, who is head
of the COA, earlier, told PTI that Limaye will hold his position till July 14,
when the Supreme Court reopens, after which he will have to step down for his
new assignment at the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The search for two new
members to join Rai’s team is on. The Court has asked for names in sealed
cover from parties for filling the posts after resignation of Guha and Limaye.
In another development, the Court has
accepted former BCCI president Anurag Thakur’s unconditional apology offered on
Thursday. With that, the proceedings of contempt, perjury and criminal have
been dropped against Thakur.
The Union of India has also appealed to
Supreme Court to recall Lodha reforms order that reduces Railways, Universities
and Services to associate status.
