In a historical judgment, the honorable Supreme Court of India has removed Anurag Thakur from the post of the BCCI President. Son of the former Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh Prem Kumar Dhumal and a Member of Parliament, Anurag Thakur has got elected as the president of BCCI on 22 May 2016.
Along with Thakur, the Apex Court has also sacked secretary Ajay Shirke. This decision has come after the BCCI authorities failed to implement the Lodha Committee's reforms.
Thakur also faces a criminal charge for perjury charge as well as contempt of court proceedings against him.
The landmark judgment, made by Justice Chandrachud, fully backed the recommendations of the Justice Lodha panel regarding the ouster of BCCI office-bearers as well as administrators of affiliated State associations above 70 years old.
According to the judgment, a committee of administrators would be appointed by the court to run the BCCI. Senior advocates Fali Nariman and Gopal Subramanium have been asked by the court to nominate qualified persons for the committee.
The committee of administrators would report to the Lodha Committee. The next hearing will take place on 19th January, 2017.
