RCA polls: Supreme Court to decide on Lalit Modi's fate
New Delhi: The fate of former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi, who contested the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) elections, will be announced today by the Supreme Court. The declaration of the results has already been postponed four times now.
Earlier, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had said that Modi was a clear winner of the RCA election results but requested the Supreme Court to not officially open the result.
However, the Supreme Court on January 27 adjourned the hearing and delayed the announcement of the polls. A bench of Justice Anil R Dave and Justice Jagdish Singh Khehar, which was to open the envelope that contained the results and the report of Justice NM Kasliwal, under whose supervision the polls were held, said the court would open it on March 4.
But on March 4, Supreme Court postponed the announcement of the results for the fourth time as the BCCI asked for a postponement citing the unavailability of Aryma Sundaram, their lead counsel.
