The Supreme Court today dismissed BCCI's review petition against its earlier order for implementation of Lodha panel's recommendations. <br/><br/>The Apex Court had, on July 18, accepted the majority of the Justice Lodha Committee recommendations covering various aspects of Indian cricket at the central and state level.<br/><br/>The Supreme Court had given the BCCI the time limit of between four to six months to implement the recommendations of the Lodha panel.<br/><br/>The Lodha panel, in its report, had recommended that each state will have only one vote at BCCI elections, Ministers and civil servants cannot hold BCCI offices, and BCCI and state office bearers must not be over 70 years old.<br/><br/>The recommendations were challenged by BCCI in the Apex Court, which today dismissed its review petition.
