IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi has questioned the legality of Monday's Governing Council meeting to decide his fate. However, BCCI sources expressed confidence that Modi will be voted out of the post notwithstanding his defiance and raising procedural issues.With indications emerging that Sharad Pawar and other influential members of the BCCI, including president Shashank Manohar and secretary N Srinivasan, and IPL vice-chairman Niranjan Shah said to be gunning for his removal, Modi today sought postponement of the Monday meeting.Sources said he has questioned the legality of the meeting on the ground that only he can convene it as the Commissioner. Modi is understood to have conveyed to the BCCI that he would not be in a position to attend the Monday meeting as he wanted more time for preparation. There are reports that he wanted to make public all the details of the ownership pattern of the eight franchises but BCCI is understood to have put brakes on his proposal.
