Mr. N Srinivasan withdraws application for perjury against BCCI Secretary Mr. Anurag Thakur
The issue of the perjury application made by Mr. N Srinivasan came up before the Honourable Supreme Court today.
After the matter was called out and hearing the parties, and on finding out that the Court wasnāt inclined the counsel for Mr. N Srinivasan, Mr. Kapil Sibal withdrew the application for perjury against BCCI Honorary Secretary Mr. Anurag Thakur.
As far as the conflict of interest matter was concerned, the Honāble Supreme Court held, inter alia, that they had dealt with the same in their Order of January 22, 2015 and as the subject issue is post the final Order, it is for the BCCI to hold its considered decision based on legal opinions that 'conflict of interest' of Mr. N Srinivasan remains unaltered, until the same is over turned by appropriate Court of law.
Mr. N Srinivasan's view of no conflict may be addressed to by the appropriate Court, if aggrieved. Thus the Hon'ble Court held no reason to provide any further clarification nor to refer it to the Justice Lodha Committee and accordingly based on the detailed order, the Application of BCCI is disposed off.
It is incorrect that BCCI "withdrew" its application or that the same was 'dismissed' without recording detailed observations.
