All eyes on SC
Sunday Guradian
> A decision by the Supreme Court on a petition filed by former BCCI president> A.C. Muthiah on Friday could lead to an independent probe under the aegis of> the Court. The prospect has sent shivers down the already trembling spines> of franchise owners and their political patrons.>> Muthiah has challenged the norms that permit an office-bearer of the BCCI to> hold a franchise and demanded an independent probe into "conflict of> interest." His specific target is N. Srinivasan, BCCI secretary, who owns> Chennai Super Kings. If the court gives an adverse remark on BCCI> functionaries doubling up as IPL beneficiaries, it could become a> game-changer.>> It will be possible for BCCI to initiate proceedings against Lalit Modi only> after hearing what the Court has to say. The original salvage idea, to> replace Modi with a three-member trustee body headed by Ravi Shastri and> register IPL as a non-profit organisation, has been put on hold.>> The BCCI meeting scheduled for tomorrow has run into a further hurdle.> Monday proceedings in Parliament are expected to be volatile, with the> Opposition gearing up to challenge the government over the secret tapping of> politicians' telephones. This will require the presence of Sharad Pawar,> Farooq Abdullah and Arun Jaitley in Delhi. A high powered BCCI jaw jaw to formalise strategy took place in Mumbai on Saturday.
