Modi represented by lawyers at BCCI disciplinary hearing
Suspended Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi, who is abroad, did not attend Cricket Board's Disciplinary Committee hearing on Friday and left the job of representing him before the three-member panel to his legal counsels.
Modi's attorney, Mr Mehmood Abdi, accompanied by three other lawyers, said before going into the meeting with the BCCI panel that his camp would raise the issue of recusal of interim IPL chairman, Mr Chirayu Amin and Mr Arun Jaitley from the Committee.
"We are here to discuss the recusal issue as per the Bombay High Court order yesterday. We have not received a copy of the order yet. After receiving the copy we will take a decision about asking for a new date of hearing from the BCCI," Mr Abdi told reporters outside the BCCI headquarters.
On Thursday, the Bombay High Court refused to grant any relief to Modi and left the issue of reconstituting the Disciplinary panel on the members.
The division bench of Justices B.H. Marlapalle and Roshan Dalvi dismissed Modi's plea seeking reconstitution of the panel and cleared the deck for the disciplinary proceedings against him to commence.
However, the court also indicated that the final finding can be challenged by Modi and he can even raise the issue of constitution of the committee at that point.
