Board says the law will take its own course in the two-year-old case
MUMBAI: Former Board of Control for Cricket in India president Jagmohan Dalmiya said he will fight it out. Reacting to reports that a chargesheet will be filed against him, Dalmiya said he will prove his innocence if and when a chargesheet is filed against him.
Reacting to reports that he has been found guilty of misappropriation of BCCI and Pilcom funds, Dalmiya said he is not aware of any chargesheet but said he would not shy away from any kind of challenges. “So far I’ve not received any copy of the alleged chargesheet. I do not wish to comment at this stage on hypothetical statements. However, I would revert if a chargesheet is filed and a copy of it is served on me.”
Dalmiya said he has already proved that the actions against him were illegal. “I had filed a suit in the High Court in which an order was passed which states that action taken were totally illegal,” he said and added: “In that proceedings, office bearers of the BCCI had filed an application supported by an affidavit containing blatantly incorrect statements for which I’ve filed an application praying before the High Court to initiate proceedings of perjury against the concerned officer bearers,” he added.
Meanwhile, the BCCI said it had nothing to say on the case. “It is up to the police and the court,” BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said denying that the working committee in Chennai on Tuesday will have any discussion on the issue. “Law will take its course,” he added.
BCCI chief Pawar said he has nothing personal against Dalmiya. “Nothing that we do is prompted by a willingness to seek revenge. We do not believe in that kind of approach. We feel there might be differences with others over ethics and ideas, but it should never be made personal,” Pawar told media persons in New Delhi. “If someone has done something wrong, the law will take its course. We will not interfere,” he said. It is in fact a two-year-old case which was filed in the Marine Lines Police Station by BCCI secretary in March 2006.
The Economic Offences Wing questioned all top officials of the Board, including its secretary and treasurer, in its two-year long inquiry. It will now file a chargesheet on March 26.
