After hearing on the writ filed by 26 petitioners including district cricket associations, their secretaries and members of the RCA executive committee members against the unfair manner in which the motion of no confidence moved by Amin Pathan & Co was conducted on March 9 in Sawai Mann Singh stadium, Justice Bela Trivedi said that there was only one solution to the deadlock that there should be fresh voting on the no confidence motion.
The court also made it clear that if both the parties fail to do so in the next hearing on September 28, the court would itself appoint a chairman and announce date to ensure fair and free voting on the motion.
It might be recalled that the Amin Pathan group had claimed that they have removed Lalit Modi and few other top officials in an EGM but the claim was challenged in court and later on March 9.
This meeting again was challenged as Modi faction alleged that the vehicles of genuine voters were mobbed, stoned and occupants were beaten and their papers of authorization were snatched by the attackers was premeditated attempt to intimidate and prevent the voters from reaching the venue of the voting.
The court would decide the date of voting and would also appoint a chairman if both parties do not come up with a name after mutual consent.
The court has also constituted committees to ensure the participation of Rajasthan Cricketers in the coming domestic season of the BCCI which had suspended RCA because it had elected former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, who is facing a life suspension, as President.
