Breakinhg New - In a major ruling, the Supreme Court on Monday sacked Anurag Thakur from the post of Board of Control for Cricket in India President.
Ajay Shirke was also removed from the post of BCCI secretary.
The apex court said the BCCI and state board officials failed to implement its order to bring transparency and accountability in the cricket body.
The court also issued contempt notice to Thakur.
The court said that no one above 70 years, unsound mind, ministers, government servants, convicted persons and those holding post for cumulative term of 9 years can be office bearer.
"This was a logical consequence because so long as order of the Supreme Court passed on July 18 stands, the BCCI was borne to follow it and being at the helm of affairs if they were not able to implement, these consequences were bound to follow and this is what has happened," Justice Lodha said.
"It is victory for the game of cricket and it will flourish. Administrator come and go but it is for the benefit of the game & the game will flourish," Justice Lodha added.(Read More)
