Hello and welcome to the ABP HIGHLIGHTS. Follow this space to get the latest developments and breaking news, including Supreme Court's decision on BCCI's plea on tenure of its office bearers, Covid's latest update and other developing stories across the country and abroad.
The Supreme Court will continue to hear the plea of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seeking the court's permission to amend its constitution concerning the tenure of its office bearers, including that of the President and Secretary.
On Tuesday, the SC observed that BCCI was an autonomous body and it cannot micro-manage its functioning.
The Supreme Court said that the cooling off period would not be scrapped between the tenures of office bearers as "the purpose of the cooling off period is that there should be no vested interest". The SC said it will continue with the hearing Wednesday and pass order.
In its petition, the BCCI has sought the abolition of a cooling-off period for its office bearers. This will enable Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah to continue as BCCI president and secretary respectively despite them having completed six years at respective state cricket associations.
