Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, Nov 21, 2016: Justice Lodha panel submitted its report to the Supreme Court on Monday suggesting the dismissal of all office bearers of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

 

In its status report submitted today, the panel requested that the top brass of Indian cricket board be dismissed for their noncompliance with the implementing in toto. It also recommended former home secretary GK Pillai as interim observer of the world’s most powerful cricket board.

It’s, however, reported that the apex court will now hear the panel’s plea and subsequently pass a judgment.

The BCCI has been at loggerhead with the Supreme Court appointed panel over the matters of cricket reform in the country. And only last month, the apex court asked BCCI president Anurag Thakur and 13 state associations to implement the proposed reforms.

However, the BCCI maintained that it will be impossible to implement all the panel’s proposals.

It’s pertinent to mention that the panel was constituted by the Supreme Court after the infamous 2013 Indian Premier Premier (IPL) betting scandal which rocked cricket world.
