The Board chief has been bestowed with powers to scuttle even a requisitioned SGM of the Board convened for this purpose, as per the Board's Memorandum of Rules and Regulations.
An SGM can be requisitioned by not less than ten Full Members of the Board to transact a specific business.
Clause (vi) of Rule 17 of the BCCI Memorandum states: The President may at his discretion postpone or cancel the Special General Meeting or the Meeting of the Working Committee, Standing Committee or any other Committee.
He has the power to shorten the notice period of such a meeting from the usual 21 days to 10 at his discretion by directing the secretary to do so, as per clause (iii) of the same Rule 17 about SGMs.
Also, no business other than the one for which the SGM has been called for, will be transacted at the meeting as per Rule 17.
