Calcutta: The Committee of Administrators (CoA) has filed another scathing status report, its fifth, and has asked the Supreme Court to remove the current Board of Control for Cricket in India office-bearers for non-compliance to the Justice Rajendra Mal Lodha committee's recommendations despite giving a written undertaking to do so.

The current office-bearers of the Board are acting president CK Khanna, acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary and treasurer Anirudh Chaudhry.

Not only that, the CoA has also published details of expenditures incurred on the Board's office-bearers in Annexure A-10 of the status report. The expenses of Amitabh and Anirudh for financial years 2015-16, 2016-17 and April-June 2017 touch a whopping Rs 1.56 crore and Rs 1.71 crore, respectively.

The CoA's main plea to the Supreme Court, however, is to remove the current office-bearers. The CoA said that since the apex court had earlier removed Anurag Thakur and Ajay Shirke as the Board's president and secretary, respectively, for non-compliance to the court's order, the current office-bearers too should be treated in a similar manner.

"The Committee of Administrators submits that since the then president and secretary of the BCCI (Anurag and Shirke, respectively) had been removed because the BCCI failed to implement the reforms mandated by the judgment despite a period of six months having elapsed, it is only fair that the current office-bearers be treated in the same manner because a further period of six months has elapsed since the said office-bearers submitted their undertakings and reforms mandated by Hon'ble Court have still not been implemented.

"It is clear that the current office-bearers are not in a position to make good on their undertakings and ensure that reforms mandated by this Hon'ble Court is implemented," the CoA said in its status report.

The CoA currently comprises two members, chairman Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji. The report also said that with fresh Board elections scheduled for September, the running of the Board should be entrusted "exclusively" with the CoA, which would work closely with a group of professionals led by the Board's CEO Rahul Johri.

"The governance, management and administration of the BCCI may be entrusted exclusively in the hands of the Committee of Administrators along with the professional management of the BCCI headed by the CEO until elections are held in accordance with the New BCCI Constitution and a new set of office-bearers take charge," the CoA said.

The CoA has stressed that the Supreme Court should issue specific directives to force the Board and the state associations to implement the reforms. Without fresh directives, the CoA said, "The Judgment of this Hon'ble Court will remain a writ in sand and the implementation of reforms mandated by this Hon'ble Court will never see the light of the day."

In the latest status report, the CoA has spoken about various instances which exhibit "wilful disobedience" and "resistance" by majority of the BCCI members as far as implementing the reforms are concerned. The CoA has criticised the current three office-bearers for not doing anything about the matter.

At the July 26 SGM, the Board decided to implement all but five key reforms. Commenting on that, the CoA said: "Describing these issues as 'impracticable' or 'difficult' is nothing short of gross abuse/contempt."

The CoA mentioned how the Board treated the Supreme Court's neutral expression of "etc" to "bring in a series of issues aimed at unravelling the core of the reforms mandated including disqualifications of office-bearers, constitution of apex council, clear demarcation of functions, powers, duties and obligations between professional management and apex council."

The CoA also said: "It is obvious that the whole idea was to stonewall the fundamental core of the reforms mandate by this Hon'ble Court and make the same a dead letter."

The CoA slammed the office-bearers in the report for not sending the minutes of the July 26 SGM despite being asked to. The CoA also took strong exception to the Board's decision of asking Johri and other administrative staff, including the legal team, to leave the SGM, which it said was "pre-planned and orchestrated."

Coming back to the Board's expenses on office-bearers, the CoA has given the entire break-up under various heads, including air-fare, TA/DA, accommodation and foreign exchange allowance.

According to the details provided, more than Rs 65 lakh was spent on Amitabh's air fare in the said period. For Anirudh, the amount spent in the same category crossed Rs 60 lakh.

For allowance under the TA/DA section, Amitabh collected Rs 42,25,000, while for Anirudh it was Rs 75,07,533.

The list also includes the names of Anurag and Khanna among others, but the Board's expenditure on them is no match to that on Amitabh and Anirudh.

Interestingly, the list doesn't have the name of Shirke, who was the Board's secretary during Thakur's reign.
