Internet Desk: Though the BCCI is trying to delay the amendment suggested by the Lodha committee, the Supreme Court-appointed CoA have geared up to implement the instruction which were given to them by the apex court. "There is no question of being disappointed or not (over the outcome of the SGM which decided to form a small committee to revisit certain points of the Supreme Court order). We have a mandate to fulfil and we are geared up to fulfil it whether the SGM takes decision this way or that," said COA's chairman Vinod Rai after its meeting on Saturday. "We were building a consensus (among the members) but if the consensus is not built up, we will have to implement the mandate. It's as simple as that," the former CAG insisted. "Whether the (BCCI) members implement or not the (Supreme) Court's directive is to implement the order and that will be done," he reiterated. He was referring to the Supreme Court's July 18, 2016 order of sweeping reforms in the BCCI based on the Justice Lodha Committee recommendations. Rai said a status report will be filed in the apex court when the matter comes up next on July 14. "Of course we will file the status report. Court is meeting on July 14 and we will file it. It will also come out on the (BCCI) website, but it will take a while as more information is required," he added after the meeting which he said was about "taking stock of general, routine matters".
