Lodha Committee slams BCCI for decision on 'funds disbursement'

The Justice Lodha Committee has yet again lashed out at Board of Control (BCCI) for Cricket in India's decision to disburse large funds to the various member associations, taken during its Special General Meeting held on October 1. "It has come to the notice of this Committee that certain decisions have been taken at the 'Emergent Working Committee' meeting of the BCCI on 30th
September 2016 to disburse large funds to the various member associations," the Lodha Committee stated in a letter addressed to the board's secretary Ajay Shirke, tresurer Anirudh Chaudhry and CEO Rahul Johri. "You are aware that by way of this Committee's direction dated 31.8.2016, no further decisions were to be taken regarding the future apart from routine matters. The disbursement of these amounts are not routine, and in any case, not emergent," it added.

The committee also stated that BCCI had violated the order of the Supreme Court in its first set of timeline and directed the board and the banks not to take any steps towards 'financial disbursement of the amounts as resolved / approved after the direction dated 31.8.2016'.

It also warned that if the Indian cricket board or the bank refuses to co-operate, the Lodha Committee will place the violation before the Supreme Court for further action.
