TOP Court of India TOPPLES DOWN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM Conflict of Interest : Top Court Dattu CJI, Thakur , Khehar, Sen & Gopal Gowda --Vs-- N. Srinivasan:- TOPPLES DOWN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM : Lands JUSTICE & BCCI on a Sticky Wicket:- two-member bench of Justices TS Thakur and FMI Khalifulla, said, Amendment in the BCCI rules allowing Srinivasan to own IPL team is bad as conflict of interest in cricket leads to great confusion. No one who has commercial interest including N Srinivasan shall be eligible for any post in the BCCI and this disqualification on ground of commercial interest shall continue till such commercial interest will exist, the bench said while asking BCCI to hold its AGM for electing office bearers within six weeks. Reading out from the judgement, Justice Thakur said the allegation of cover up in the probe of IPL spot fixing and betting against Srinivasan over the involvement of Meiyappan are not proved and at best theres only a case of suspicion against Srinivasan of cover up It said not only players and team officials but franchisees will also be punished for misconduct. The future of CSK and IPL could be in danger as IPL rules provide for cancellation of the franchise for misconduct by players, owners and officials of a team. Setting up a committee of judges headed by former CJI RM Lodha, the bench said to remove bias and to have a process which will be objective and transparent there was a need for an independent committee to decide the quantum of punishment likely to be awarded to Meiyappan and Kundra and to decide the fate of the teams. The committee, also comprising Justices Ashok Bhan and RV Raveendran, both retired judges of the apex court, will further probe the allegation of betting against BCCI chief operating officer Sunder Raman and if found guilty will award the punishment. The bench asked the committee to to issue notices to Meiyappan, Kundra and others, complete its work in six months and place a report before it. Further the panel will make recommendations for bringing out reforms in the BCCI. The apex court said the amendment 6.2.4 brought in the BCCI rules in February 2008 to permit cricket administrators of having commercial interest by owing teams for IPL and Champions League was unsustainable, impermissible and bad in law and has to be struck down as it is void. It said Srinivasan being BCCI chief and as Managing Director of India Cements Ltd, which owned the Chennai Super Kings created a situation of conflict of interest. The contention that Srinivasan held a Small share in India Cements Limited, owners of CSK, was misleading since his family directly or indirectly holds much more control in the company. ........................... https://youtube/watch?v=dJepjvQNBug dnaindia/india/report-sc-orders-fresh-bcci-polls-bars-srinivasan-from-contesting-2054820
