BCCI convenes special general meeting to discuss Modi's reply

Mumbai, Jun 19 (PTI) The Cricket Board has convened a
Special General Meeting (SGM) here on July 3 to discuss the
replies of suspended Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit
Modi to the three show-cause notices slapped on him by BCCI.

"The Board's SGM has been convened on July 3 in Mumbai
to discuss the replies sent by Mr Modi," Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) sources said on Saturday.
Modi was slapped a show-cause notice and suspended from
all positions in the BCCI, including as chairman and
commissioner of its sub-committee IPL, on April 25, soon after
the conclusion of the final of the Twenty20 league.
Modi was accused of financial irregularities in the
conduct of the league as well as rigging the bids for
franchisees and he responded to the notice with a staggering
reply running over 15,000 pages.
The Board issued him a second show cause notice -- based
on an email from England and Wales Cricket Board chairman
Giles Clarke -- which accused him of trying to destroy the
structure of world and Indian cricket on the day he replied to
the first and he retorted with a 24-page reply.
The third and last notice issued to him related to
alleged irregularities in the awarding of theatrical rights
and 150-second commercial slot in between balls during the
telecast of IPL III matches.
He responded to the third show cause notice a few days
ago with a 50-page reply with supporting documents. PTI SSR
