The apex court allowed acting secretary of BCCI, Amitabh Chaudhary, to represent the board at ICC meeting and asked BCCI’s CEO Rahul Johri to accompany him.
"N Srinivasan cannot go (for ICC meeting)," a bench headed by Justice Dipak Misra said.
"This person (Srinivasan) was held guilty by this court for conflict of interest and abuse of authority. He cannot go," the bench, also comprising Justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud, said, adding "a man, once having a conflict of interest, cannot go".
"Regard being had to the significance of representation of the BCCI in the said international body, i.e. ICC, it’s directed that Amitabh Chaudhary shall represent the BCCI before ICC and Rahul Johri shall accompany him and also attend the meeting of the chief executive officers," the bench said.
