The impasse between the Rajasthan Cricket Association and BCCI is likely to continue for a little longer as the District Judge Jaipur - city has set September 11 as the next date of hearing.
The BCCI had warned RCA of dire consequences if they allow Lalit Modi, who is facing a life ban, to fight the state body elections but the RCA not only had ignored it but also proceeded to elect him as the president.
An irked BCCI had immediately suspended RCA and later left it out from its domestic calendar.
Challenging the suspension and its allied issues imposed on RCA by the BCCI the RCA has moved District Judge (DJ) DJ as well High Court crying foul because it feels it was the only legitimate body elected under the Sports Act prevailing in the state.
In its transfer application filed by BCCI before the Learned District Judge Jaipur - city BCCI leveled allegation of bias against the additional District judge -4 and sought the matter to be transferred to some other court.
RCA deputy president Mehmood Abdi appeared in person and prayed to the court that the order sheets of the ADG-4 would amply display that no favor has been shown to RCA by the learned ADJ-4 or any prejudiced has been caused to BCCI by his orders running into over a dozen pages.
He alleged that on the contrary all applications of BCCI have been allowed by the learned ADG court but for the two applications of RCA.
Abdi alleged that instead of arguing the issue of suspension and its consequential aspects BCCI is drifting and delaying the matter on every possible pretext.
"Firstly, it raised the issue of jurisdiction and wanted the matter to be heard at Chennai and not Jaipur. The issue went up to the High Court which on August 11 dismissed BCCI's appeal on the issue of jurisdiction. Now BCCI is trying to further drift and drag the matter by seeking adjournment of their transfer application date after date," he said.
