New Delhi: It could spell trouble for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Anurag Thakur.

The Supreme Court, on Friday, asked the BJP Member of Parliament to file an affidavit in his "personal capacity" on the purported effort by him to influence the International Cricket Council (ICC) to thwart the Justice Rajendra Mal Lodha committee reforms recommendations.

The apex court, as indicated on Thursday, also directed that the BCCI shall not disburse any further amount to the various state associations, until the latter fall in line with the recommendations.

The Board had, in recent past, disbursed over Rs 400 crore to the various state bodies even while claiming that the latter were opposed to the Lodha panel recommendations and were unwilling to change the Memorandum of Association (MoA) in tune with the panel's directive.

The committee had earlier asked the Board and the state bodies to amend their memorandum of associations (MoAs) to introduce the reforms.

On Friday, the apex court bench of Chief Justice Tirath Singh Thakur, Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud said the state associations shall also keep the amount as a fixed deposit in a bank.

The apex court, which did not upload the formal order on its official websites, stated that Board shall not disburse any further amount to its affiliates unless, they unconditionally agree to abide by all recommendations and file an affidavit to the effect both the panel and also the Supreme Court. Part of the order was read out by the CJI.

The affidavits shall contain unconditional undertakings to abide by all the recommendations of the panel.

Besides, Thakur, Board's general manager game development and administration, Professor Ratnakar Shetty will have to file a personal affidavit as to in what capacity he had filed an affidavit before the apex court to opposed the Lodha panel reforms when the same ought to have been done by the Board's secretary or president.

Of much concern to the Board and Anurag Thakur, is the directive to the BCCI president to file a personal affidavit on the reported effort by him to persuade both ICC chairman Shashank Manohar and CEO Dave Richardson to write a letter to the BCCI, suggesting that implementation of certain recommendations, like C&AG audit and appointment of CEOs, would lead to automatic disaffiliation of the Board.

Any such letter which however, was declined by the ICC, would have served as ruse to defer or thwart implementation of the panel's recommendations.

The said allegations were made against Thakur, by Richardson to a section of the media which was brought to the court's notice on Thursday during the hearing by senior advocate and court-appointed amicus curiae Gopal Subramanium.

Subramanium, had told the court that Thakur's alleged effort to influence the ICC amounted to subverting the judicial process.

Accordingly the court had taken exception to the said conduct of Thakur and asked him to file a personal affidavit which he has to do along with Ratnakar Shetty by October 17, when the court would hear the matter again.
