BCCI-RCA impasse continues as meeting deferred indefinitely

The BCCI's disciplinary committee meeting with the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) officials failed to break the deadlock after the objections raised by a top official of the suspended association regarding composition of the disciplinary committee.
"It has been deferred because they have raised certain objections. We will go through them and then revert to them," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told reporters at the Cricket Centre today.
The RCA was suspended by the BCCI after former IPL chief Lalit Modi, who has been banned for life by the BCCI, was declared elected as its President on May 6.
"We were called by the secretary of BCCI to present RCA before the disciplinary committee purportedly constituted by them. As we communicated to them, we raised certain fundamental issues objections about the jurisdiction , composition and the constitution on mainly two grounds," RCA deputy president and Modi confidante Mehmood Abdi said after the meeting.

"Firstly, the members of the the disciplinary committee, Shivlal Yadav and Rajiv Shukla, according to our information and that has been confirmed by many other members, were never appointed as members of the disciplinary committee, in the AGM held on September 29, 2013," Abdi said.
"Moreover, the minutes of the AGM have not been circulated to any of the state associations so far. Secondly, as per the BCCI bylaws, there have to be three members in the disciplinary committee whereas they have only two members right now," Abdi added.
Responding to Abdi's charge, Patel said,"The committee is constitutionally valid, properly appointed and approved by the AGM in the AGM. Everything has been done properly. Fortunately or unfortunately, they have also attended the same. As an honorary secretary who has attended that meeting, I am telling you that it is a proper committee.
