Supreme Court reserves verdict on Lalit Modi's plea on BCCI committee

The Supreme Court today reserved its verdict on a petition filed by suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi seeking reconstitution of the BCCI disciplinary committee probing allegations of financial irregularities against him.

A bench comprising Justice JM Panchal and Justice HL Gokhale completed the marathon hearing on the petition filed by Modi in September 2010.

Modi has approached the apex court seeking reconstitution of a BCCI-appointed three-member disciplinary committee comprising Arun Jaitley, Chirayu Amin and Jyotiraditya Scindia, entrusted with the task to probe the allegations of financial irregularities against him.

He had approached the apex court after the Bombay High Court had on July 15, 2010, dismissed his plea seeking reconstitution of the committee and challenging his suspension from BCCI.

Modi has sought removal of Jaitley and Amin from the committee, contending they might be biased against him.
