Supreme Court pushes hearing to January as Ganguly set to continue as BCCI President

With the Supreme Court further delaying the hearing for the proposed amendments to the BCCI constitution, which was originally planned for December 9, to the third week of January, President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah are cleared to continue in their position as of now.

Ever since the BCCI filed the affidavit after adhering to the Lodha Committee recommendations late last year, there have been further delays from both ends which subsequently helped the position for both Ganguly and Shah. If the original time frame was followed from the beginning, the duo should have vacated their role by July 2020 but that has not been the case.

Temporary relief for Ganguly and Saha

The hearing will have a significant impact on how many days Ganguly and Saha hold on to the role, with the executive style management completely missing from the book.

The Supreme Court only shared their verdict on the disputed cases, with Amicus Curiae being summoned for a solution. The Apex Court had earlier asked the amicus curiae PS Narasimha to compartmentalize the various Interlocutory Applications (IAs) related to the BCCI and now those will be dealt with in a phased manner.

With the Supreme Court set to go on its winter vacation from December 18, the pending Interlocutory Applications and the case of changing the constitution will be dealt with once the court resumes.
