Former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi today moved the Supreme Court for a stay of the BCCI Special General Meeting, scheduled to take place in Chennai later today. The meeting is to consider a disciplinary panel report on Modi for alleged financial irregularities in the cricket league. A bench headed by Justice G S Singhvi, before whom the matter was mentioned for urgent hearing, directed Modi to mention the case before the bench concerned at 2 PM. Modi approached the apex court challenging the order of the Delhi High Court, which yesterday allowed BCCI to hold the meeting.
The high court had vacated the stay granted by the trial court on the meeting.
BCCI had moved the high court challenging the trial court's September 21 order restraining it from holding the meeting, contending that the lower court had no jurisdiction to pass such an order as the meeting is scheduled to be held in Chennai.
