The Bombay High Court today reserved its order on the petition filed by suspended IPL Chairman Lalit Modi challenging the disciplinary proceedings initiated against him by the Board of Control for Cricket in India – BCCI. In today’s hearing, Lalit Modi’s lawyer, Virag Tulzhapurkar told the court that the decision of the disciplinary committee, comprising Arun Jaitley, Jyotiraditya Scindia and Chirayu Amin was a foregone conclusion. He added that the committee was hugely biased against Modi and hence unable to give an impartial and honest judgement. <br/><br/>His lawyer appealed that an independent body be formed for conducting the inquiry. He also requested the court to put a stay on the July 16 meeting of the committee where Modi has also been summoned.<br/><br/>On the other hand, BCCI’s lawyer, A Sundaram, argued that the High Court could not hear Lalit Modi’s petition as the BCCI was a society and this was an internal matter. He added that BCCI’s decision to initiate inquiry and constitute disciplinary committee was that of the general body and not the IPL governing council.<br/><br/>After hearing both the sides, the division bench of Justice B H Marlapalle and Justice Roshan Dalvi reserved its order for tomorrow and said that that they would only consider whether the disciplinary committee should be re-constituted or not.
