Lalit Modi gets life ban from BCCI - Livemint
Chennai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) slapped a life ban on Lalit Modi, the first commissioner of the Indian Premier League (IPL), after finding him guilty of misconduct and indiscipline at a special general meeting on Wednesday.
The cricket board took less than half-an-hour to adopt a unanimous resolution expelling Modi from the BCCI and barring him for life from holding any administrative post in cricket.
He shall forfeit all his rights and privileges as Administrator. He shall not in future be entitled to hold any position or office, or be admitted in any Committee or any member or associate member of the Board, the board said in a statement.
Modi, 49, on Wednesday moved the Supreme Court for a stay on the BCCI meeting. He challenged an order of the Delhi high court that had on Tuesday allowed the meeting to go ahead. The high court vacated a stay on the meeting granted by a lower court.
BCCI had moved the high court challenging the trial courts 21 September order restraining it from holding its special general meeting, contending that the lower court had no jurisdiction to pass such an order as the meeting was being held in Chennai.
The BCCI disciplinary committee, comprising Arun Jaitley and Jyotiraditya Scindia, submitted a 134-page report in July in which it had found Modi guilty on eight charges, including financial irregularities, indiscipline and actions detrimental to the interest of the BCCI.
Modi was found guilty, among other things, of rigging bids during the franchise auction in 2010, selling media and internet rights without authorisation and secretly trying to create a rebel T20 league in England without the knowledge of the Indian and England boards.
Modi, who now lives in self-exile in London, currently holds no post in the BCCI, having already been removed as IPL chairman and BCCI vice-president after the conclusion of the third edition of the tournament in 2010.
The 49-year-old scion of a business family, who is also being investigated by the government on corruption and money-laundering charges, has in the past denied all allegations against him.
