NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday registered its new constitution with the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies at Chennai, as approved and directed by the Supreme Court in its recent (final?) verdict on the Justice RM Lodha Committee recommendations.
Chairman of the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) Vinod Rai and member Diana Edulji jointly stated: “We thank the Honorable Supreme Court for their directions and are pleased to start the process today (Tuesday) by the submission of the new constitution of the BCCI with the Tamil Nadu Registrar of Societies at Chennai. We are committed to implement the Supreme Court directive in its entirety.”
The CoA statement further directs that the state associations have to within 30 days conform to the judgment of the apex court and report compliance.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court, in its verdict on the draft constitution submitted by BCCI, had granted four weeks time to the board to register the modified constitution along with all the changes suggested.
Approving the draft constitution, with some modifications, the court had also granted full membership to Mumbai Cricket Association, Vidarbha, and Railways.
Rai told Press Trust of India: “Now that constitution has been notified, we will be able to put a roadmap in place for the elections very soon.”
