NEW DELHI: Four affiliated state units of the BCCI - Hyderabad, Tamil Nadu, Goa and Madhya Pradesh - have filed separate pleas in the Supreme Court seeking revised directions on its January 3 verdict, which disqualifies any office-bearer who has completed nine years in state administration.
The state units have many of their senior office-bearers who now have had to demit office due to cap of nine-year tenure, which earlier during a July 18 Apex Court order was stated as cumulative period of 9+9 years taking both state and BCCI tenure into account.
The Lodha Committee in their second set of FAQs had mentioned that it will be a cumulative tenure of nine years which includes both state and board tenures.
"Yes, we have sent a plea to the Honourable Supreme Court seeking directions on the tenure. We have also filed a separate plea about HCA elections being ordered by the lower court," HCA secretary K John Manoj told PTI Monday.
The newswire reported that the TNCA, which has been badly hit as the verdict meant end of tenure for N Srinivasan along with his confidant and secetary general Kashi Viswanathan, has also filed an apppeal.
MPCA on Monday filed a plea through their counsel Pragya Baghel.
Petitioner in the case Aditya Verma claimed that even Goa Cricket Association has filed for a "recall".
"I was amazed that Goa Cricket Association has filed for a recall of the January 3 verdict as few months back their top office bearers were arrested on corruption charges. Still they don't want any propreity in their association," Verma told PTI.
