Supreme court clears way for Srinivasan' bid for ICC top post
  • 5 years ago
Indian cricket board president N. Srinivasan can go ahead and participate in the election for ICC President as the Supreme Court on Thursday declined to entertain a plea by the Cricket Association of Bihar to restrain him from joining the polls.
Declining to pass any order, the apex court bench of Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar and Justice C. Nagappan said the earlier "order of the court was clear and there was no conflict". The election of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is scheduled for June 27.
The court was referring to an apex court's earlier order by which it appointed legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar as the interim President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to look after Indian Premier League (IPL)-2014 and asked BCCI Senior Vice-President Shivlal Yadav to look after other affairs of the board.
The court has divested Srinivasan from functioning as the BCCI President in the wake of the allegation of betting and spot-fixing against several people, including some cricketers and his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan.
