Indian Supreme Court To Examine Potential Conflict Of Interest In BCCI Amendment

The Indian Supreme Court decided to examine the “controversial amendment” in the Board of Control for Cricket in India rules which enables office bearers to own teams in the Indian Premier League and Champions League “amidst raging debate over conflict of interest issue,” according to the PTI. The apex court termed the issue of conflict of interest "relevant" and decided to scrutinize the controversial amendments “amidst blame games” between N. Srinivasan and I.S. Bindra over its introduction in the BCCI rules. A bench comprising Justices T.S. Thakur and F.M.I. Kalifulla said, "BCCI has to defend the amendment." The bench also said it has to be examined “whether in principle or ethically or morally such type of provision can be permitted or not.” The hearing also saw the bench questioning IPL COO Sunder Raman for “not taking action on receiving information” that N. Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royal's Raj Kundra were in touch with actor Vindu Dara Singh, who was “allegedly acting as a contact of bookies in connection with the IPL 6 spot-fixing” and betting scandal. The bench observed, "You did not think it fit of talking to somebody in BCCI on receiving information of betting and allegation against two individuals” (PTI, 12/15).
