Explained: What the new Supreme Court ruling means for BCCI and its office bearers

cricket administration in India, on Wednesday the Supreme Court allowed significant amendments to the Constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), chiefly related to the consecutive terms of the office-bearers and the cooling-off period between terms in office. While the ruling, in effect, clears the path for BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and secretary Jay Shah to continue for a second consecutive term, though there is a strong buzz that fresh elections could be in the offing, the order needs to be properly understood. Timesofindia.com is here to make it simple to comprehend. WHAT THE RULE WAS EARLIERBefore we dissect the latest SC ruling on the matter, it must be noted that the apex court altered its own ruling of 2018. In 2018, the SC, based on the Justice Lodha panel's recommendations, had ruled that... 1) an office-bearer must undergo a three-year cooling-off period after two consecutive terms -- whether it be with a state association or with BCCI or even cumulative, i.e., first three years with BCCI and the next three years with a state association, or vice versa. Now this clause from the 2018 amendment of the Constitution wasn't allowing Ganguly and Shah to continue as the BCCI president and secretary, respectively, because both had served as office-bearers in state cricket associations of Bengal and Gujarat before being elected to the BCCI offices.

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.

Implications Of Supreme Court Order: Buzz Around BCCI Elections But Will Board Elect Srinivasan As Its ICC Representative?

Sourav Ganguly and Jay Shah have got the mandate to continue for another three years in the BCCI but it is former president N Srinivasan who has been at the centre of attention following Supreme Court's decision to allow modifications relating to the age-cap of 70 years for ICC representation. The Supreme Court on Wednesday paved the way for its president Ganguly and secretary Shah to continue in office without having to serve the mandatory cooling-off period. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli said that an office bearer can have a continuous tenure of 12 years which includes six years in State Association and six years in BCCI before the cooling-off period of three years triggers.
