The BCCI's disciplinary committee has pushed to August 1 a decision on suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi's request for the removal of interim IPL chairman Chirayu Amin and BCCI vice-president Arun Jaitley from the committee. However, a BCCI statement said the committee did agree to provide Modi with several documents sought by his counsel.
"The core issue of recusal of two members from the panel was debated," Modi's lawyer Mehmood Abdi said after the hearing in Delhi that lasted three and a half hours. "Our lawyers argued the case. The BCCI will be allowed to come out with a rejoinder."
Abdi was adamant that a neutral judge should be part of the panel. "A retired Supreme Court judge must be there in the committee. We have grave concern about the BCCI's stance," he said. "If they have already decided then what's the point in all their meetings? Whosoever is doing this is hurting BCCI's cause more."
The board agreed to hand over copies of the minutes from the special general body meeting held earlier this month at which the charges against Modi were ratified, and relevant extracts of two IPL governing council meetings (April 26 and June 25). Modi's lawyers were also given a copy of the amended agreement between the BCCI and Sony-MSM on condition of the strictest confidentiality. Abdi had asked for these documents three days ago, saying they were "crucial to the proceedings".
