Srinivasan, Niranjan Shah barred from BCCI SGM
The Supreme Court on Monday blocked former BCCI President N Srinivasan and former Secretary Niranjan Shah from attending the Special General Body Meeting (SGM) of the board, scheduled for July 26, as it directed that only office-bearers of the state associations will be participating in the meeting.
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday blocked former BCCI President N Srinivasan and former Secretary Niranjan Shah from attending the Special General Body Meeting (SGM) of the board, scheduled for July 26, as it directed that only office-bearers of the state associations will be participating in the meeting.
As senior counsel Kapil Sibal, appearing for Srinivasan, told the court that they were resisting certain recommendations as they were not comfortable with them, amicus curiae Gopal Subramaniam said: "There can't be wholesale defiance of the Lodha Committee recommendations."
Subramaniam told the court that Srinivasan and former secretary Niranjan Shah, who were disqualified from being office bearers of BCCI or even the state associations, can't circumvent the top court judgement by participating in the meeting of policy-making general body as nominee of the state associations.
As Sibal said that there was nothing in the rules framed by the Justice Lodha Committee that barred Srinivasan and Shah from attending the SGM meeting as nominee of the state associations, Subramaniam contended that it was the spirit of the judgement that had to be respected and complied with.
A similar position was taken by senior counsel Parag Tripathi appearing for the Committee of Administrators.
