Supreme Court issues notice to N. Srinivasan, Niranjan Shah on CoA's complaint

The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief N. Srinivasan and Niranjan Shah for participating in the June 26 Special General Meeting (SGM) as a nominee of state associations.

The apex court has adjourned the matter till September 24.

The Committee of Administrators (CoA), in its fourth report submitted to the top court, had earlier accused Srinivasan and Shah of creating disruptions in the June 26 SGM, which was convened to build consensus amongst BCCI members of the adoption of Lodha Panel reforms.

Describing them as disqualified members, the CoA further accused them of having vested interests of wanting to stall the implementation of the reforms.

"The SGM held on June 26 was manifestly disruptive. Before the meeting, a substantial consensus has been arrived at as a result of mutual deliberations between the CoA and various constituent members of BCCI," the CoA's report stated.

"The SGM on June 26 was attended by various persons who are disqualified from being office bearers of the BCCI and/or their respective state/member associations including N. Srinivasan (represented the TNCA) and Niranjan Shah (Saurashtra CA) amongst others," it added.
