Modi and BCCI fail to reach understanding
The Supreme Court of India has been told that the BCCI and the former IPL chairman Lalit Modi failed to reach a compromise in the deadline given by the court to both the parties last week. Earlier the court had given both the parties
a deadline of 27th October to reach some consensus regarding probe panel composition.
Ram Jethmalani, who is representing the accused in the case, today told the court that the attempts to find a compromise failed notwithstanding the best efforts of both the parties. The next hearing on Modi’s case will be held on 11th
of next month.
On 21st of this month, the supreme court had given both Modi and BCCI a deadline of 27th October to reach some compromise regarding the composition of probe panel investigating allegations levelled against the
suspended IPL commissioner. In the same hearing the court had suggested two proposals regarding the constitution of the disputed investigation committee: either to increase the size of incumbent probe panel or keep all of its three members away from the IPL
Governing Council which is allowed to investigate the report of probe panel on Modi. The disciplinary currently includes BCCI vice-president Arun Jaitley, new chairman of IPL Chirayu Amin, and the president of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Madhya-Pradesh-c809 Cricket Association (MPCA),
Mr. Jyotiraditya Schttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The suggestion from Supreme Court came following Modi’s in the court seeking the recusal of Jaitley and Amin from the probe panel. Modi filed the plea with the apex court of the country after his appeal for the removal of these two
members was rejected by the Bombay high court last month.
Lalit Modi was suspended by the BCCI with immediate effect soon after the conclusion of IPL3 in April, alleging him of financial irregularities in the bidding process for IPL franchises.
Besides financial irregularities, he has also been charged with under-pricing the media rights of the league in November last year. Modi has been alleged of conspiring to start a parallel IPL in England. The defendant, however, has
turned down all the charges and repetitively blamed the board officials, president BCCI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shashank-Manohar-c89791 and the secretary N Srinivasan, for developing personal grudges against him.
