It is going to be the Judgement Day as Chief Justice Tirakh Singh Thakur and his bench consisting of five more judges will decide on the fate of the confrontation between the two parties. The apex court will hear the BCCI’s response to the Lodha Committee’s status report, which has recommended a clean up in the BCCI regime, seeking the removal of board’s top officials with immediate effect and replaced by a panel of administrators. The Board has failed to put in place the recommendations passed by the Supreme Court by the September 30 deadline. The lead up to the Supreme Court hearing has been a bitter one between the Supreme Court appointed panel and the Board hierarchy. The bone of contention was an email written to two nationalised banks by the secretary of the Lodha committee, directing them to not disburse funds to the state associations from the BCCI’s accounts for two important financial decisions taken at the Board’s Emergent Working Committee meeting on September 30. This prompted the BCCI president Anurag Thakur threatening to call off the remainder of the India-New Zealand series upon learning that Yes Bank, one of the two banks apart from Bank of Maharashtra where the BCCI holds accounts, has put the account on freeze. Justice Lodha clarified to the banks that the committee didn’t order to freeze the accounts for the BCCI’s routine expenses, including for conducting matches. However, despite the committee’s clarification, the BCCI continued to paint a confusing picture that the freezing of accounts would not only lead to the cancellation of the ongoing India-NZ series, but also put the organisation of the future series at home in deep trouble. Some of the decisions taken at the BCCI working committee meeting on September 30 were also not taken well by the committee as they felt it was against their recommendations. The Board decided to double the Test match fee for the men’s team along with granting an additional INR 10 crore to full member state associations to increase the infrastructure subsidy to INR 70 crore, and the distribution of compensation money received from the broadcaster as a result of the cancellation of the Champions League T20. On October 4, Justice Lodha warned state associations not to use the fund they received from BCCI between September 29 and October 01. The last line of defence for the Board officials will be to buy time and request the apex court to hear its Review and Curative petition which was earlier turned down on the grounds of technical reasons. The BCCI officials will be banking on the Review petition as they feel that can provide them the life-line .
