The Supreme Court on Thursday appointed Senior Advocate and former Additional Solicitor General Maninder Singh as amicus curiae in the case relating to the administration of Board of Control of Cricket in India(BCCI).
The bench of Chief Justice of India NV Ramana, Justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli appointed Senior Advocate Maninder Singh as the earlier amicus in the matter, Senior Advocate PS Narasimha, has been elevated as a Supreme Court judge.
The bench adjourned to July 28 the application filed by the BCCI seeking to amend its constitution.
Based on the recommendations by retired Justice RM Lodha's committee, BCCI had drawn up its Constitution which mandated a three-year cooling off after six years in the position for an office bearer- at the state level or the BCCI.
In the amendment, BCCI had sought for including the abolition of the cooling period of office bearers like the Secretary and the President which would enable the current President Saurav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah to continue in office despite them completing six years in their respective state associations.
