The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has convened a special general body meeting (SGM) today to reappoint the Board's disciplinary committee, which is currently probing charges of corruption against former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi.
The tenure of the three-member committee comprising Arun Jaitley, Jyotiraditya Scindia and IPL chairman Chirayu Amin expired in September. However, the new committee was not nominated during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 29.
"It's (SGM) with regard to the technical point raised by Lalit Modi's counsel. It's a minor thing," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said. Modi's counsel Mehmood Abdi had pointed out last month that the three-member disciplinary panel did not have the BCCI General Body's mandate.
Abdi reminded BCCI that they had forgotten to re-constitute the Committee for the year 2010-2011 at its AGM. "We are in a peculiar situation as of today. As per 1(Q) of BCCI by-laws various committees have to be freshly constituted. In its AGM, they did not form a fresh disciplinary committee," Abdi said on November 22.
