N Srinivasan lands himself in trouble once again

Former BCCI Chief N Srinivasan has landed himself in trouble once again along with ex-secretary Niranjan Shah for attending a Special General Meeting of the organisation. Srinivasan and Shah attended the meeting as a nominee of the state cricket associations and have grabbed the eye of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court made it crystal clear while speaking on the issue that no terminated member can be part of such a meeting as a nominee. A bench of Justices Dipak Misra, A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud have issued notices to both the concerned people and the matter will be dealt with on July 24th.

The Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) in its fourth status report, annexed a CD of the recent SGM and said that both Srinivasan and Shah were stripped of their rights of holding any post by virtue of the apex court order and they are not eligible to attend the special general meeting as a nominee of the state cricket associations.

The bench confirmed that the matter will be dealt with on the next hearing date and are looking for the replies of Srinivasan and Shah on the objections put forward by the CoA in their statement.

Anurag Thakur’s apology:

The Supreme Court finally accepted Anurag Thakur’s new unconditional apology. His apology was previously rejected by the court terming it as a conditional one and the former BCCI chief was asked to issue a fresh one.

The bench dropped the contempt proceedings against Thakur. The court also relieved Ramchandra Guha and banker Vikram Limaye from the CoA after they tendered their resignation expressing inability to continue as administrators in the BCCI.

But there was some good news for Srinivasan as yesterday marked the end of Chennai Super King’s 2-year ban from the Indian Premier League. CSK will feature in the IPL next year along with the Rajasthan Royals who got rid of their ban too.
