SC decision on Srinivasan today

The Supreme Court will decide on Friday whether BCCI president N. Srinivasan is eligible to attend the Board's Annual General Meeting in Chennai on September 29. The court will hear a plea filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar seeking to prevent a desperate Srinivasan from con testing the Board elections for the president's post. Earlier, Rajiv Shukla, former vice-president of the BCCI and secretary of Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association, said the nominations for the elections will close by the evening of September 28. “Then only you will know who is contesting and who is not,” he said it categorically. Asked how Srinivasan could preside over the meeting, Shukla said, “In the last working committee meeting, it was decided that he will discharge his duties as president and that is how he presided today.” Shukla said the decision to slap Lalit Modi with a life ban was a “unanimous” decision and there was no ambiguity in the verdict by the cricket board.
