Lord Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 want any thread about this,so here it is The Supreme Court (SC) suggested on Thursday that Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary N Srinivasan must either contest for the president’s post at the cricketing body’s election or retain his interest in the India Cements-owned Chennai Super Kings, an Indian Premier League (IPL) team. Srinivasan, vice-chairman and managing director of India Cements Ltd, is the de facto owner of Chennai Super Kings. The court was hearing a petition filed by former BCCI president AC Muthiah alleging conflict of interest by Srinivasan because of his dual role. “It shouldn’t cause prejudice to you (Srinivasan) if you continue with M/S India Cements and Chennai Super Kings and not hobnob with the BCCI,†a bench of justices JM Panchal and Gyan Sudha Mishra said, while challenging an interim order passed by the Madras high court. The high court refused to interfere with a BCCI regulation, which made an exclusion of events like the IPL or Champions League, for administrators to have, directly or indirectly, any commercial interest in the matches or events. Maintaining that its observation should not be construed as a direction, the bench asked Srinivasan’s counsel Mukul Rohatgi to take instructions from his client. Justice Mishra said the “conflict of interest is the core issue and the nagging question is can you continue in a dual positionâ€. Rohatgi said Srinivasan and India Cements were two different identities and must not be merged to establish conflict of interest. Muthiah’s counsel Nalini Chidambaram said the suit was filed only because no action was taken after her client filed a complaint. Justice Sudha told BCCI counsel and attorney general Goolam E Vahanvati that had the BCCI acted on the complaint, there wouldn’t have been a problem. “But you failed to act. Your duty is to act as per your own rule. You [bCCI] can’t say that we are a private body and we will not answer the complaint,†the SC observed. “Why should the court be burdened with the suit?†In his defence, Vahanvati said the BCCI is an autonomous private body and not an instrument of the state. Muthiah could neither file a suit nor a writ petition as he did not meet the requirements. He has also rejected the contention that under BCCI regulations, Muthiah, being a former president, was also its administrator. about time,should be same for Pawar too:dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blewatt Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Supreme court is spot on. He should resign from either BCCI or CSK. It's not fair to do dual jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 So they are saying it is not illegal, but advising him to eliminate the apparent conflict of interest. Interesting take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The Court is right, this is an obvious conflict of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gunner Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The Court is right' date=' this is an obvious conflict of interest.[/quote'] And as President-elect he will be in a clear position to influence decisions. This is just crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 And as President-elect he will be in a clear position to influence decisions. This is just crazy. It is not as crazy as it seems. What decision can the President take which will help only his team (CSK) to the detriment of others? Favorable schedule? There is a guy called Bud Selig in the US who was Baseball Commissioner and part owner of a team. Don't remember people being that worried about it.

cowboysfan Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 he has already influenced decisions (see the player retention rule) and pissed off a lot of other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 he has already influenced decisions (see the player retention rule) and pissed off a lot of other teams. How has he influenced? His is one of the 2 teams which wanted 7 players retained, the other being MI. The governing council had the option to decline it totally, he has only a single vote, they went with 4 players instead. He could have asked for that even if he wasn't the BCCI secretary just as MI did. He did so (like MI) cause they have players whom they want to retain unlike the other teams who want to get rid of their cr@p. :hehe: (not because he was the BCCI secretary) I am not saying there isn't conflict of interest, it isn't as big a deal as it is made out to be, IMO. I bet Mallya and Ambanis have more influence with the BCCI and the board than the rest of the owners, that's just the way it is. Mallya had one of his step daughters working in Lalit Modi's office before all this tamasha began, do you think he didn't have an inside info and influence on all the happenings?

ViruRulez Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 he has already influenced decisions (see the player retention rule) and pissed off a lot of other teams. ++ Cannot agree more. CSK and MI are the only two teams which are hugely benefited with the new rules .. BCCI has been a bit biased for these two teams though it might be a bit of coincidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
