Choudhary has cited many an incidents since Supreme Court-appointed COA where the Apex court has refused to entertain his recommendations seeking action against BCCI’s members.
The confrontation between the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary and the Committee Of Administrators (COA) chief Vinod Rai has appeared to have reached a point of no return.
Two days after Rai directed all the BCCI employees/consultant/retainer/service provider not to “prepare and/or circulate any papers in respect of the June 22 SGM in Delhi” as the meeting has been called without his approval, Choudhary hit back that “it is their fundamental right to convene a meeting.”
Choudhary has cited many an incidents since Supreme Court-appointed COA where the Apex court has refused to entertain his recommendations seeking action against BCCI’s members.
In an email on Friday, Choudhary took potshots at Rai. He wrote, “COA has long lost focus of the primary duty cast upon the committee by the Hon’ble Court and having been plagued with a flawed notion that the Hon’ble Court had anointed them to become the BCCI”.
“Since the very date of its appointment, the Committee has been taking several decisions that it had no jurisdiction to take, by usurping powers conferred under the Rules and Regulations of the BCCI which were hitherto vested in various institutions of the BCCI and the Office Bearers or the General Body,” wrote Choudhary.
Choudhary has elaborated on the bias in certain actions of the COA, including the one where he is said to have tried to scuffle the members from convening the SGM. “These are entirely your own version of events and unfortunately do not paint the true and complete picture.
“Suffice it to say that decisions taken by the General Body in the earlier SGM’s have already been within the notice of the SC and the Court has passed appropriate orders and is hearing the issue of the implementation of the reforms including the suggestions made to a fresh draft of the BCCI Constitution by the office-bearers and the state associations as well as the COA.”
Choudhary has reminded Rai that the General Body of the BCCI is supreme authority as per the constitution and even SC order of July 18, 2016 has not undermined that.
Choudhary took a dig at how COA has been dealing with matters of players’ contracts or even taken call on lucrative television rights.
Lastly, Choudhary has asked COA to withdraw its order which is coming in the way of the constitutional functioning of the BCCI and is likely to hamper the decision-making of the general body by restricting flow of information to the Board through the staff of BCCI.
