BCCI can't stop state elections, Shirke tells Lodha Committee

BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke has responded to the Lodha Committee’s directive of putting the elections of the state associations on hold, saying “the BCCI is not empowered under any law to stop any electoral process which is mandated by any statute”.

After consulting the BCCI’s legal experts, Shirke addressed the letter to Lodha Committee’s secretary Gopal Shankarnarayanan, saying that stopping the elections of the state associations was not within the legal jurisdiction or authority of the board.

Shirke wrote: “Elections being a democratic process are held by all associations and companies affiliated with the BCCI in terms of the respective enactments governing their constitution. The elections under respective enactments have to be held from time to time according to the schedule specified in the said enactments failing which the concerned association would render itself liable under law for offences delineated therein.

“The BCCI is not empowered under any law to stop any electoral process which is mandated by any statute. Furthermore the Lodha Committee recommendations does not empower the BCCI to interfere with statutory and fundamental rights of citizens who are members of such associations.”

After the Supreme Court had approved most of the recommendations made by the Lodha Committee to be implemented by the BCCI within six months, the committee had directed the Indian board to freeze all state elections. Sankaranarayanan had then warned that if the BCCI or states failed to follow the recommendations, it would be guilty of contempt of court.

Confusion has prevailed since then as BCCI has sought advice from legal experts, and state associations have been waiting for a directive from the board.

The BCCI later decided to convene several meetings in August. An emergent working committee meeting will first take place in Mumbai on August 2, followed by a special general meeting on August 5 in Mumbai to discuss the implementations of the Lodha Committee’s report. The BCCI president Anurag Thakur, and Shirke, will then meet the Lodha panel members on August 9 in Delhi.
