MUMBAI: While 13 state associations have written to the BCCI regarding implementation of the Lodha Committee reforms, the board has requested the remaining associations to write in their views so that an affidavit on the issue can be filed in the Spreme Court, a report in newspaper The Hindu said.
In a letter to its members on February 18, BCCI’s acting Secretary Amitabh Choudhary wrote: “As many as thirteen full member units have already written indicating their above decision (implementation of the reforms) and more have also requested me to do the needful to bring their views to the notice of the Hon’ble Court.
“In keeping with the said request, I propose to file an affidavit before the Hon’ble Supreme Court apprising it of the views of the said members with regard to the implementation of the reforms. However, before that is done, the undersigned would most humbly request those members who have not expressed themselves expressly on the subject to kindly do so. It must be kept in mind that the next date of hearing in the Hon’ble Apex Court is February 23, 2018.”
The note also mentioned about the implementation of the judgement. “It so happens that even after the passage of a considerable period of time, the process of implementation of the judgement is still to be completed. You might also be aware that following directions of the Hon’ble Apex Court, the undersigned and the other two office-bearers had submitted their undertakings to the Hon’ble Court on January 30, 2017 pledging their unreserved support to the implementation of the reforms.’’
