BCCI to have its SGM on Dec 11

The Indian cricket board has called its Special General Meeting (SGM) on Dec 11 after suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman?s Lalit Modi?s counsel challenged the legality of the disciplinary committee that was probing all the charges against him.

“The SGM will be held in Mumbai on December 11. It’s with regard to the technical point raised by Lalit Modi’s counsel. It’s a minor thing,” Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary N Srinivasan said.

Modi’s counsel Mehmood Abdi had said last month that the three-member disciplinary panel did not have the BCCI General Body’s mandate.

Abdi pointed out that BCCI has forgotten to re-constitute the Committee for the year 2010-2011 at its Annual General Body Meeting (AGM) held in September.

“We are in a peculiar situation as of today. As per 1(Q) of BCCI by-laws various committees have to be freshly constituted. In its AGM, they did not form a fresh disciplinary committee,” Abdi had said.

The term of the earlier Committee expired on September 29 and BCCI ought to have appointed a new Disciplinary Committee.
