Board president Manohar recuses himself from Disciplinary committee
LALIT Modi's end game has begun. The Board of Control for Cricket in India has convened a Special General Meeting (SGM) on July 3 to decide the fate of suspended India Premier League Commissioner, Modi.
There is a lot of speculation that Modi may be expelled from the BCCI in the meeting, but the SGM has been mainly convened to discuss replies of the suspended IPL chairman to the three show-cause notices slapped on him by BCCI in the wake of the IPL controversies.
By convening the SGM the BCCI has started their process to sack Modi but it won't happen in the July 3 meeting. The first step for it will be the disciplinary committee's report.
As per Modi's demand, the Board president, Shashank Manohar has recused himself from the disciplinary committee. As a result, the disciplinary committee will be reconstituted in the SGM.
The Board members are also keen on knowing who are for and against Modi, so that in future they know how much strength they have to remove Modi once the disciplinary committee's decision comes.
"To expel him will be a long process," a top Board offIcial told MiD DAY.
The BCCI's Memorandum of Rules and Regulations states that 'The Board shall, at the Special General Meeting specially convened, take appropriate decision by majority of three-fourth members present and voting at the said meetings.
Modi was slapped a show-cause notice and suspended from all positions in the BCCI, including as chairman and commissioner of its sub-committee IPL, on April 25 soon after the conclusion of the final of the Twenty20 league.
