Supreme Court approves draft constitution of BCCI
Chief Justice Deepak Misra headed the bench regarding the voting rights of the cricket associations
The Supreme Court on Thursday approved the draft Constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and granted full permanent membership to the Railways, the Tri-services, and Association of Indian Universities amongst others.
The restoration of permanent membership and votes is in the reversal of the top court's earlier verdict mandating 'one state one vote'.
A bench headed by chief justice Deepak Mishra also restored the voting rights of the cricket associations of Gujarat and Maharashtra including Baroda, Saurashtra, Vidarbha, and others.
The court cited the historical existence and contribution of these cricketing bodies in the rise and growth of the sport in India.
