War in BCCI intensifies

Mumbai, Apr 22 (PTI) The war in the Cricket Board
intensified on Thursday with Lalit Modi planning to move court
against the Governing Council meeting that may oust him from
the post of IPL Commissioner as BCCI accused him of hiding
details of stakeholding by his relatives in franchises.
The embattled Modi was on Thursday night said to be
considering moving the Bombay High Court seeking an injunction
against the April 26 meeting where Governing Council member M
A K Pataudi says he would be ousted if he keeps away.
Some top lawyers are expected to appear for Modi who has
contended that the Monday meeting was illegal as only he had
the power to convene it.
BCCI President Shashank Manohar shed his reticence to
attack Modi who had threatened to reveal details of franchise
ownership. He also rejected Modi's contention on the meeting
and said it would go ahead as scheduled.
He dismissed Modi's claim of BCCI secretary N Srinivasan
having a conflict of interest in owning Chennai franchisee.
"Mr Srinivasan was a declared bidder. If Modi and his
relatives had a share in any of the franchises, he ought to
have declared it at the meeting. I was not a member of the
Governing Council then. He ought to have told every body," the
BCCI President said.
Manohar said that it was the then BCCI President Sharad
Pawar who had given Srinivasan permission to bid. It was India
Cements, a company which bid and was accepted by the general
body. More PTI RHP
