Notice to BCCI on appointment of Lalit Modi

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Wednesday issued notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India on a public interest litigation (PIL) petition seeking a direction to the BCCI to cancel the appointment of Lalit Kumar Modi as its vice-president. A Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice Kshitij Vyas and Justice Abhay Oka, asked the BCCI to file an affidavit in four weeks.

In the petition, a cricket fan — Chandervardhan Parekh — alleged that Mr. Modi was found guilty of possessing 400 gm of cocaine by a district court in America in 1985. He prayed that persons with such a criminal background be not appointed to the BCCI. — UNI
