NEW DELHI: In the new constitution drafted by the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators it is the chief executive officer who will have all the powers to run the BCCI on a day-to-day basis.
According to the new constitution, which the apex court had instructed the CoA to draft based on the recommendations of the RM Lodha Committee, two of the most important office-bearers in BCCI’s current scheme of things – secretary and treasurer – will have no day-to-day operational powers.
While the secretary will be able to sign on the annual accounts along with the president and secretary, “all ministerial functions including the signing of contracts for and on behalf of the BCCI and carrying of correspondence in the name of the BCCI must be construed as day-to-day functioning of the BCCI and should be handled the CEO,” Hindustan Times, quotes the CoA’s draft constitution as reading.
Further, the treasurer and the joint-secretary/secretary will not be allowed to operate the BCCI bank account. It can be operated by “two authorised signatories designated by the Apex Council” from among the BCCI’s professional management, the new constitution draft further reads.
