Supreme Court rejects BCCI review plea on Lodha panel reforms

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed the Board for Control of Cricket in India’s (BCCI) special leave petition to review the reforms suggested by the Lodha panel. The petition had also appealed for referring the case to a higher bench.
The apex court had directed the board to implement measures suggested by the R.M. Lodha panel as part of the efforts to make Indian cricket’s governing body more transparent. The BCCI and its state units have opposed measures such as the restrictions and capping on age and tenure in board’s top positions, one-man-one-post and one-state-one-vote, as NDTV reports.
The Supreme Court had softened its stand on Monday when it asked the BCCI to submit a fresh timeline for the implementation of the Lodha panel reforms.
