The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) moved Supreme Court to correct a factual error regarding the name of the former Board president N Srinivasan
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was left red faced as it moved the Supreme Court to be allowed to correct a 'factual error' in a plea relating to its former Board president N Srinivasan, according to an English daily.
BCCI had earlier moved SC on September 12 to enquire whether Srinivasan could attend board meetings after Board secretary Anurag Thakur had complained about the former president barging into the August 28 BCCI working committee meeting citing conflict of interest as an issue.
However, Srinivasan claimed that he had restructured the ownership of India Cements and CSK so that there is no longer any problem in him attending Board meetings. So BCCI wanted the SC to examine the restructuring process.
In its new plea on September 23, the Board said the trustee of India Cements is in fact, "another N Srinivasan...with a different father and different address". The namesake is a former partner of Fraser & Ross, an old chartered accountancy firm in Chennai. The trust deed, it said, shows that the trustee N Srinivasan is the son of MS Natesan Iyer, whereas the Srinivasan who is the managing director of India Cements and former BCCI chief is the son of TS Narayanswami. "Thus they are not the same individuals and ex-BCCI president is not a trustee of India Cements Shareholders Trust," the new application mentioned.
Thakur informed the error was discovered after reading the trust deed, but it "does not alter the BCCI stand - that of Srinivasan's conflict of interest--despite his restructuring of CSK franchise".
Sources close to Srinivasan said the error in the application was filed on Thakur's instructions to stop Srinivasan from attending board meetings. The plea is expected to be heard on October 5.
