New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed that term of office of BCCI’s Committee of Administrators (CoA) will expire upon election of new officials.

A bench of the Apex Court, headed by Justice SA Bobde said that no action should be taken against the CoA and other officials for their acts without the permission of the court.

The order will allow former India captain Sourav Ganguly-led new administration to take charge of BCCI.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly (Cricket Association of Bengal) has filed his nomination for the post of BCCI President while Gujarat Cricket Association's Jay Shah, son of Home Minister Amit Shah, has filed nomination for the post of secretary, as revealed by BCCI Electoral Officer N Gopalaswami.

For the post of vice-president, Mahim Verma (Cricket Association of Uttarakhand) has put forward his name, while for the post of Joint-Secretary Jayesh George (Kerela Cricket Association) has filed nomination.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association's Arun Singh Dhumal, brother of central minister Anurag Thakur, has filed nomination for the post of Treasurer.

Prabhtej Singh Bhatia (Chhattisgarh State Cricket Sangh) has put forward his name for the post of Councillor while Brijesh Parsuram Patel (Karnataka State Cricket Association) and M. Khairul Jamal Maujmdar (Cricket Association of Mizoram) have filed nomination for the post of Governing Council Member.

Earlier, the apex court on Sep 20 had allowed the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) to hold elections to elect its officials on Sep 28.

It had observed that though the state cricket association has not fully embraced the new constitution of BCCI, but could definitely hold elections.

The CoA had objected to the ruling saying that it will set a wrong example.
