SC modifies 2017 order, allows Anurag Thakur to participate in BCCI affairs

In a relief to former BCCI president Anurag Thakur, the Supreme Court on Thursday modified its January 2017 order and said he shall be free to participate in the affairs of the cricket board according to rules and regulations. In January 2017, the apex court had directed Thakur to "cease and desist" from being associated with the affairs of the Board of Control for Cricket in India(BCCI). On Thursday, a bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi applied the doctrine of proportionality and modified the January 2017 order. The bench passed the order on an application filed by Thakur seeking modification of the 2017 order. The top court considered that Thakur had then tendered an unqualified apology before it. The apex court had initiated contempt and perjury proceedings against Thakur on January 2, 2017 for filing a false affidavit regarding writing to the then International Cricket Council (ICC) chairperson Shashank Manohar on the issue of the BCCI's autonomy.

SC dismisses plea to restrain Prasar Bharati calling BCCI team 'Team India'

Terming its "frivolous", the Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed a plea seeking to restrain public broadcaster Prasar Bharati, which operates Doordarshan and All India Radio, from referring to the BCCI's cricket team as "Team India". A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi upheld the Delhi High Court's October 8 order, which junked the PIL filed by advocate Reepak Kansal. "You just start sitting at home and draft petitions. What is the problem in all of this? Don't burden the court. The fact that exemplary cost was not saddled with has encouraged him to move this court," the bench observed. The plea argued that calling the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) "Team India" or the "Indian national cricket team" misleads the public and violates laws governing the use of national symbols. It claimed that, being a private entity, the BCCI should not be referred to as "Team India", "especially when there is no sanctio
