New Delhi: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Board of Control of Cricket in India plea seeking clarification of the apex court whether its former President N Srinivasan can participate in the General Body Meetings of the Board as Chief of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association.
Justice T S Thakur headed bench said that it will hear the application in the near future. It, however, did not fix a date for hearing.
Senior advocate K K Venugopal, appearing for the Board of Control for Cricket in India, sought an urgent hearing for judicial clarification on the entire issue.
The Board has sought clarification on the apex court’s January 22 order by which Srinivasan was barred from contesting any BCCI polls provided he forsakes ownership in Chennai Superkings IPL team.
BCCI approached the apex court saying there was lack of legal clarity on the status of Srinivasan who had sought to attend an important Board meeting in Kolkata on August 28, which was adjourned.
The meeting was postponed as the members argued over the
presence of Srinivasan, who was barred by the apex court from
contesting the BCCI President’s post on the ground of conflict
of interest which cropped up in view of the IPL spot-fixing scandal.
