BCCI president, secretary, office-bearers can have six-year stints: Supreme Court
Cooling-off period to apply after 6 years at each level, but not if one switches levelNEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Wednesday effected major amendments to the constitution of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that would entitle its president, secretary and office-bearers to have two consecutive terms spanning six years in the board, even if they had served for three years in state associations immediately before entering BCCI. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli, thus, significantly altered the 2018 SC-approved BCCI constitution, which had mandated an office bearer to undergo three-year cooling off period after two consecutive terms in state association, or BCCI or cumulatively.
