Former CAG Vinod Rai figures in the list of four-member panel of administrators appointed by the Supreme Court on Monday to manage the affairs of the cricket board and report on whether it has complied with the 16-point Lodha Committee's recommendations.
While Rai will head the panel, historian Ramchandra Guha, career banker and IDFC managing director Vikram Limaye, and former women's Test cricketer and captain Diana Edulji will assist him as members in discharging the panel's responsibilities.
The administrators will take over the management of the BCCI, which was being conducted by the board's CEO under the orders of the court while the panel was being constituted. Henceforth, the CEO and all other BCCI officials, concerned with the board's daily affairs, will have to report to the administrators.
Observing that it wanted a "professional set of administrators", a bench led by Justice Dipak Misra picked the four names from the lists adduced by amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium and Anil Divan and by the counsel for BCCI and state cricket associations.
The court virtually rejected the names of persons above 70 years of age, as suggested by the amicus, and also turned down, for now, Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi's plea to give a specific role to the Secretary of the Union Sports Ministry in the administration.
"Our judgment said no government official…(can be appointed as BCCI administrators). We will not go beyond our judgment at this stage," said the bench, also comprising Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud, as it declined to entertain the AG's submission. The AG was representing Railways, Services and Association of Indian Universities, which have lost their status as full-time members and consequential voting rights in the BCCI.
