New Delhi: A marathon session of over a dozen hearings on implementation of Justice R M Lodha panel recommendations on structural reforms in BCCI came to an end today in the Supreme Court, which took the cricket board to task over issues like fund utilisation and avoiding of performance audits.
The apex court made critical remarks on the issue of fund allocation and utilisation after it was told that office- bearers of Goa Cricket Association, which in the last five years had received Rs 141 crore from BCCI, were recently arrested on charges of misappropriation. Amicus curiae and senior advocate Gopal Subramaniam not only briefed a bench of Chief Justice T S Thakur and Justice F M I Kalifulla about the arrest of the President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Goa Cricket Association, but also spoke about the affairs of other boards like Saurashtra Cricket Association and Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA).
