New Delhi: In a bizarre turn of events, senior advocate Fali S Nariman has withdrawn from his position as the amicus curiae in the ongoing case between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Justice RM Lodha-led panel.
The Supreme Court has appointed another senior advocate Anil B Divan as the amicus curiae, in Nariman’s place.
Nariman, who was appointed to a committee of directors to select BCCI board members of impeccable integrity, is said to have withdrawn from his post, as he had previously served as an advocate for the India cricket board.
The SC had, on Monday, removed top BCCI officials Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke, booking the former for contempt. The SC had also questioned BCCI chief Thakur, as to why the apex court should not hold him liable for trying to obstruct the reformation directions that it gave.
