Verma to file contempt petition if Srini attends ICC meeting

Unrecognised Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) secretary Aditya Verma today said he would file a contempt petition before the Supreme Court if under-fire N Srinivasan attends the ICC executive board meeting in Dubai.
Verma said Srinivasan cannot represent BCCI in the April 9-10 ICC meeting in the light of recent Supreme Court order.
"Mr Srinavasan has attended Scheduled ICC executive board meeting in Dubai on April 9th/10th as BCCI 'Representative' despite being sidelined form Cricket Board affair following Hon'ble Supreme Courts Directive," Verma said in a statement.
"As per Hon'ble Supreme Courts Order dated 28.03.2014, in SLP (C) No/25027 of 2013, Mr N Srinivasan, president of BCCI, had made a written offer to Hon'ble Supreme Court, through his counsel, that till investigation, into which allegations against him are completed he shall not discharge any of the functions of President of BCCI. The Hon'ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 28.03.2014 further directed that none of the employees of India Cements or its associate companies (except cricket players and commentators) will perform any of the duties assigned to them by the BCCI.

"In view of the aforestated directive of Hon'ble Supreme Court, N Srinivasan cannot represent BCCI, being an employee of India Cement and the same is violative of Order of Hon'ble Supreme Court and thus contemptuous in nature," said Verma.
