SC declines injunction against Srinivasan

[Cricket_Hacker]

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to list an injunction filed by Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB), which had sought to prevent N Srinivasan from being the BCCI nominee for the position of the ICC chairman. Srinivasan, who had been replaced as BCCI president following the court orders over the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal, is likely to take over as the ICC's first chairman during the ruling body's annual conference, which will be held in Melbourne between June 23-27. The CAB had filed the application on Tuesday seeking a hearing in the vacation court on June 16. However, the two-judge bench of Justice JS Khehar and Justice C Nagappan observed that the interim order passed in April was "very clear". In April, the court had refused Srinivasan's request to be reinstated as BCCI president, but the two-judge bench of Justice AK Patnaik and Ibrahim Kalifullah would not hear the CAB's plea on barring Srinivasan from continuing to represent the BCCI at ICC meetings. With the regular court in recess until June 30, any application filed in front the vacation bench needs the permission of the judge to be listed for a hearing. "Our only request today was to hear the case on Monday. The case was not argued at all today," Nalini Chidambaram, one of the senior legal counsels for CAB, said. Chidambaram stressed that it would be wrong to interpret the court's decision today as if it had given a nod to Srinivasan's representation at the ICC. "The judges just said the previous order passed by the court on April 29 was very clear. So we are going to again approach the court on June 16 seeking a fresh hearing in the matter. It is very important matter and hence we wanted the court to hear us and then decide, " she said. Srinivasan has represented India at ICC meetings since September 2013 and was also present at the Executive Board meeting in Dubai in April. The CAB, meanwhile, has sought to prevent Srinivasan from taking charge at the ICC, citing the court's decision to keep Srinivasan out of the BCCI set-up until the investigation into charges of corruption in the IPL are complete. Desh Gaurav Sekhri, a lawyer specialising in sports litigation said, that in refusing to list the injunction, the court could have taken note of the fact that it may have little jurisdiction over the actions of a global body like the ICC, unlike the BCCI which directly impacts India. "It's a question of subject matter and locational jurisdiction," Sekhri said. "When it comes to the BCCI, we have a clear question of the court having both subject matters as well as a locational jurisdiction where it's a question of domestic cricket and the governance/administration of it. "When it comes to the ICC, the Supreme Court of India doesn't really have any subject matter jurisdiction over the matters of the ICC. It's an international cricket governing body and the actual relevance of an Indian being a part of the administration…it's a global kind of a role and if anything, it is after Mr Srinivasan has already finished his tenure or his suspended tenure at the BCCI. "Technically they are not two peas in the pod. What we have is a situation where either an Indian is being nominated by the BCCI or the ICC feels that it's a candidate who it feels will be a very good president or chairman of the ICC. So I don't think the Supreme Court will entertain any such pleas or litigations." The case dates back to June 2013, when Verma raised charges of a conflict of interest in the BCCI's original two-member inquiry panel for the IPL corruption issue. A Bombay High Court ruling later termed the probe panel "illegal". The BCCI and the CAB filed petitions in the Supreme Court against this order, with the CAB contending that the Bombay High Court could have suggested a fresh mechanism to look into the corruption allegations. The Supreme Court then appointed a three-member committee, headed by former High Court judge Mukul Mudgal and comprising additional solicitor general L Nageswara Rao and Nilay Dutta to conduct an independent inquiry into the allegations of corruption against Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, India Cements, and Rajasthan Royals team owner Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Ltd, as well as with the larger mandate of allegations around betting and spot-fixing in IPL matches and the involvement of players.

:aha: bihari board thought SC can appoint the president for ICC :hehe: as far as mama is keeping safe distance from amma , he will do ok :bandit:

[Malcolm Merlyn]

SC can stop BCCI from nominating Srini as its representative.Srini shouldnt represent BCCI in any forum.

[Vilander]

^ why

[Malcolm Merlyn]

^ why

Because he has serious corruption charges againist him.

[yoda]

Because he has serious corruption charges againist him.

there are no corruption charges, stop making stuff up. There is a "partially" sealed envelope with his name on it and we don't even know for what. unless there is evidence to substantiate for whatever reason his name is on the envelope, there is no reason for you to get excited.

[Vilander]

Because he has serious corruption charges againist him.

corruption charges like not having a name ending with 'kar' ? OK.

[Vilander]

Srinivasan and India cements have been a long term supporter of Indian cricketer their sponsorship of events/players goes back to the times when the fancy IPL did not exist. Just because he is not from Mumbai he should not automatically be labeled corrupt and unfit to lead a national body.

On the positive side for once gaauthis and bhaiyyas aren't fighting, they are united in their fight against madrasis!!

[Vilander]

On the positive side for once gaauthis and bhaiyyas aren't fighting' date=' they are united in their fight against madrasis!![/quote'] so its not really about Srinivasan being corrupt its really only about him being from Madras. Ok thats what i have been saying too, thanks for vindicating.

[shortbread]

so its not really about Srinivasan being corrupt its really only about him being from Madras. Ok thats what i have been saying too' date=' thanks for vindicating.[/quote'] I have nothing against Srini or the place he comes from. The marathi manhoos population had their go at the BCCI for long and ensured a long line of du'kars got their chance to play for India, some deservedly so and some solely on the basis of being a 'gaauthi'!! That said Srini is no innocent bystander. While holding the senior-most position in BCCI he continued to own his own IPL franchise. Ok, theres no law against that. Then this team goes knee deep into the whole fixing fiasco, yes it was his son in law and not Srini himself. But then one cant ignore the sheer incompetence of Srini's management style. His son in law was a apart (lets not lie about this) of CSK simply on the basis of relationship and not qualification. And its this person that is deeply involved in this whole mess. Of course Srini is responsible then!! Srini the president, Srini the team owner, Srini's son in law...........This is very much Srini's mess. Although I hate the regional divisions this has exposed. Its pretty obvious by now that the gaauthi-bhaiyya-north nexus cant stand the southern-madrasi members. Its less about country now and simply state based divisions. Pawar one of the most vile and corrupt creatures to walk this planet is now pointing fingers at his southern version. This team and the country deserves better than this. The likes of Srini, Modi, Pawar should be burnt in some sort of cleansing pyre and people with the utmost interest in the game take over. We keep going down this route in a few years time we might end up as bad as our green neighbours!!

People still defending this douche here?

So whats that comment abt madrasis then ?

[bulbul]

Regional BS still going on by Seeni supporters :facepalm:

[shortbread]

So whats that comment abt madrasis then ?

I dislike everyone equally!!

[yoda]

Regional BS still going on by Seeni supporters haterz :facepalm:

corrected.

[Sachin=GOD]

corrected.

I don't know how/why/from where have you got this idea that people hate Sreeni because he comes from South India. Seriously man, there are like thousands of real reasons and you have been going on and on and on for many years about regionalism in this case. Its a pathetic excuse to defend him.

[velu]

love him or hate him , we cant ignore him :aha:

[CommonMan]

I would like to see Srini get elected to a post in ICC. He has that titanium thingy that other former BCCI heads didn't have.In past, ICC was always been ruled by Western Axis powers Eng/Aus/SA. If he is elected then BCCI can enjoy some benefits which was due for a very long time.

[SLICKR392]

Yes, yes let us persist with him. India loses 0-8 overseas followed by a 1-2 thrashing from England at HOME. Dhoni who was going to be stripped of his Test captaincy by the selectors gets a call from someone on the top who commands otherwise. Son-in-law involved in betting and fixing charges. Suspended from his Presidency post by the APEX court of the country. Booed by his own countrymen in an IPL final. Thanks to this fat douche fecking loser, the Indian captain's image is on the downfall. So the haters have an issue with him being a Southie? It's quiet clear here that most (not all) people from Tamilnadu are rooting for this guy. Regionalism over the team much? I'm a Southie too but not a delusive one like you lot. All this guy cares about his how much profit he could gain tomorrow to fill that fat belly of his behind that luxurious suit!
