The Supreme Court on Friday said that it will hear next week the plea of the Board of Control for Cricket in India seeking to amend its constitution with regard to the tenure of its office bearers including President Sourav Ganguly and Secretary Jay Shah.
A bench of Chief Justice NV Ramana and Krishna Murari was told by senior advocate PS Patwalia, appearing for the BCCI, that their application was filed two years ago and direction was given by the court to list the matter after two weeks. "But then Covid happened and matter could not be listed.
Please list this matter for urgent hearing because amendments to the constitution are in pipeline for two years now", he said.
Patwalia said the earlier order of the court says that amendment to the constitution can only be done with prior permission of the court.
