Modi and BCCI given a deadline of October 27 to reach settlement
The Supreme Court of India has given the BCCI and the former IPL chairman, Lalit Modi, a deadline of 27th October to reach a conciliation regarding the composition of disciplinary committee, investigating charges settled
against Modi.
The Supreme Court of India today asked both the parties, Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) the former chairman of IPL (Indian Premier League) Lalit Modi, to reach a compromise about the constitution of the disciplinary committee to investigate
Modi. Otherwise, the court reserves the right to make a decision.
The disciplinary committee presently includes vice-president BCCI, Mr. Arun Jaitley, chairman of IPL, Chirayu Amin, and the president of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
The Supreme Court of India also suggested two proposals regarding the composition of the disputed disciplinary committee. The first option is to swell the size of the prevailing committee. The second requires the three members of the
existing committee to stay away from the governing council of Indian Premier League, which will look into the report compiled by the disciplinary committee on Modi.
Earlier the former IPL chairman had lodged a petition in the Supreme Court asking for the recusal of IPL chairman, Chirayu Amin, and BCCI vice-president, Arun Jaitley, from the disciplinary committee with the reason being their biased
attitude towards Modi’s case. The Bombay High Court had rejected Modi's plea for the removal of these two members in September.
The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) had suspended Lalit Modi with immediate effect soon after the conclusion of the third edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) in April. BCCI leveled charges of financial irregularities
regarding the bidding process for IPL franchises against him.
Besides financial irregularities, Modi has also been accused of under-pricing the media rights of the event in November 2009 and for signing the contract for mid-over advertising sales during the IPL fixtures last season without the
consent of BCCI.
Modi has also got a charge of conspiring to set up a parallel IPL in England. The former IPL Commissioner, however, has denied all the allegations and repetitively blamed the BCCI officials, President http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shashank-Manohar-c89791 and the Secretary
N Srinivasan, of developing personal grudges against him.
