This comes a day after the Supreme Court-appointed COA tightened their hold over three top officials of the board by taking away all working powers from them.
The acting secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday said that the Committee of Administrators (COA), in last eight months, have not made any effort on "how to implement Lodha Panel recommendations".
This comes a day after the Supreme Court-appointed COA tightened their hold over three top officials of the board by taking away all working powers from them.
In a strongly-worded email, a copy of which is with DNA, board secretary Amitabh Choudhary reminded COA chief Vinod Rai that "his committee's only motive has been to constantly create a troubled atmosphere instead of working in tandem with the office bearers to implement the Justice Lodha Panel's recommendations".
Choudhary also mentioned the new positions created by COA, which makes BCCI liable to pay huge amounts as salary and questioned several decisions taken by Rai & Co.
Choudhary cited the SC order dated January 30, 2017 while writing that "as my humble mind understands, the orders dated 02.01.2017 and 30.01.2017 had two parts: a) Expeditious implementation of the Hon'ble Supreme Court judgement of July 18, 2016, and, b) supervision of management and administration of the BCCI.
"The spirit of the orders clearly is that the latter role had been assigned to facilitate the execution of the primary role of implementation of reforms. However, despite my best efforts I have still not been able to find in these orders, the two cardinal aspects that the COA has been giving effect to since your very first day in office, namely, that i) No office bearers exist ii) COA will supplant and replace the office-bearers and assume their powers and functions.
Doubtlessly, the undersigned will remain ever grateful to the Committee for showing under what lawful authority has it been giving effect to the two aspects referred to above."
Choudhary charged COA of taking away rights of acting president CK Khanna, acting secretary and treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry to take decisions as per Societies Act.
"It is strange that while you keep referring to the order dated 30.01.2017 so often, you have failed to notice that even in the said order, the Hon'ble Court had made a clear distinction between the COA and the BCCI being aware that the COA had a very limited and defined role whereas the BCCI as an institution had to continue to function through its office-bearers.
"This was further confirmation of the original view of the court that the BCCI must continue to function and had therefore it had been careful to nominate its acting president and acting secretary after removing its president and secretary in its January 2nd order," wrote Choudhary.
Reacting to COA's diktats where BCCI officials have been barred from using board's money for legal matters, Chaudhary said that it is denial of exercising their fundamental rights.
"COA's supervision part was only for the interim period and what is cardinal to the whole scheme is that the Hon'ble Apex Court was clear that the office-bearers not only existed while you thought and believed they did not, they must discharge their responsibilities.
"The scheme does not even remotely suggest that the COA could supplant the office-bearers or the General Body of the BCCI. Yet right from Day One, as has been demonstrated, the entire effort seems to be directed at ousting the office-bearers, preventing the office-bearers from functioning," charged the acting secretary.
