SC DEFERS HEARING ON BCCI’S REVIEW PLEA

NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court deferred its hearing by two weeks on a petition filed by BCCI seeking a review of its July 18 verdict directing it to implement the recommendations of Justice RM Lodha panel on massive structural reforms in the cricket body. The BCCI, in its review petition, has also sought recusal of Chief Justice T S Thakur from hearing the matter, alleging he had “a prejudiced approach” against it. The hearing on the review petition, in which the BCCI has also demanded an open court hearing, was listed in the chamber by a bench comprising the CJI and Justice S A Bobde which posted the matter for hearing after two weeks.
