New Delhi: The BCCI today moved Delhi High Court challenging the trial court's order restaining it from holding its Special General Meeting (SGM) to consider the disciplinary committee's report on former IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi for alleged financial irregularities in the cricket league.




Justice V K Shali today decided to hear tomorrow the plea of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) which contended that the trial court has no jurisdiction to pass such an order as the SGM is scheduled to be held at the cricket body's headquarters in Chennai.  

The High Court will also hear Modi's cross-appeal against the decision of the lower court which had declined to pass an interim order on his petition challenging the appointment of Sanjay Patel and Jagmohan Dalmiya to BCCI by N Srinivasan.  

Patel was appointed as Secretary while Dalmiya was made the interim chief of the cricket board in Srinivasan's place.  

On September 21, a trial court had in an ex-parte order restrained BCCI from holding the SGM on Modi's plea challenging Sanjay Patel's authority as BCCI Secretary in issuing the September two notices to him for considering the report of the three-member disciplinary committee comprising Arun Jaitley, Chirayu Amin and Jyotiraditya Scindia on September 25.

The trial court had also granted four days to BCCI, Patel and Dalmiya to file their responses on Modi's plea and posted the matter for September 30.
