To hear plea for amendment to constitution on July 28
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court will hear next week a plea of Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) for amendment of its court-approved constitution to enable its president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah complete their three year terms by ducking the mandatory cooling off period.
While fixing July 28 for hearing on the more than two-year-old application of BCCI, a bench of Chief Justice N V Ramana and Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli appointed senior advocate Maninder Singh as amicus curiae. Earlier, senior advocate PS Narasimha, prior to his app ointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court, was assisting the court as amicus curiae in the BCCI matter.
Singh brings rich experience in cricket administration as he has been handling several responsibilities in the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA). He has been a government nominee in the apex council of DDCA for nearly two years. DDCA president Rohan Jaitley had also appointed him as the chairperson of Legal Committee and HR Policy Committee.
BCCI has moved the Supreme Court seeking important changes in its Constitution that would allow president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to complete their three-year terms by ducking the three year cooling off period, prescribed by Justice Lodha panel and approved by SC, applicable to both from July and June respectively.
In the application filed by BCCI treasurer Arun Singh Dhumal in April 2020, BCCI had said that its AGM on December 1, 2019, had approved changes relating to cooling off period criteria and had sought SC’s permission to implement them by changing the board’s constitution.
The draft constitution, pre- pared by the Committee of Administrators and approved by the SC, had stipulated a mandatory three year cooling period for anyone who has served two terms in state cricket associations or BCCI. Taking this clause into account, both Ganguly and Shah were required to stay in hibernation from cricket management for three years starting from July and June 2020, respectively.
Both were elected unopposed as top off ice bearers of BCCI in October 2019. However, as the SC could not hear the application, mainly because of the pandemic that restricted physical hearing of cases, Ganguly and Shah continued to function in their respective posts.
