The Supreme Court today deferred to the second week of January next year the hearing on a petition filed by suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi seeking reconstitution of BCCI disciplinary committee probing allegations of financial irregularities against him.

A bench headed by Justice J M Panchal agreed with the plea of senior advocate Ram Jethmalani seeking adjournment after he said that the BCCI has decided to go into the jurisdictional aspects of the disciplinary committee.
