The Supreme Court today asked the former BCCI president Anurag Thakur to tender a fresh unequivocal and categorical apology before it in a contempt case initiated against him. A bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra, A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud refused to consider the earlier affidavit of apology filed by Thakur.<br/><br/>The apex court fixed the matter for 14th of this month, and asked Thakur to remain present before it on that day. The court had initiated contempt proceedings against him on 2nd January for filing a false affidavit over writing to the ICC on the issue of autonomy. <br/><br/>The Supreme Court had removed Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke as President and Secretary for obstructing and impeding its directions for overhauling governance in the cricket body and appointed a committee of administrators to oversee BCCI's functions.
