Chief Justice of India TS Thakur today said cricket board BCCI chief Anurag Thakur seems to have "committed perjury" after the court was informed that Mr Thakur had made a false statement on asking the International Cricket Council or ICC to clarify whether a recommendation made by the Lodha committee amounted to interference in the board's running. The top court is hearing the Lodha panel's complaint that the cricket board has refused to implement the reforms it has suggested and which the court has approved.
1.) "Prima facie Anurag Thakur committed perjury," the Chief Justice said and in a strong rebuke suggested that Mr Thakur, who is a BJP lawmaker, "ought to absolutely apologise if you want to escape. These kinds of things don't help. Please don't force us. You go to ICC and ask for a letter so that you can return to say BCCI will be out of ICC. The whole object was to stop court. This seems to be a lucrative business and everyone wants it to go on."
2.) Kapil Sibal, appearing for the BCCI, said he was "ready to apologise."
3.) The court's observations came after the Lodha panel's lawyer alleged that Mr Thakur had lied on oath to the court on having asked the ICC for a letter to advise against inducting a nominee of government auditor Comptroller and Auditor General or CAG on a council to run the board proposed by the committee.
4.) The court said that Mr Thakur had been making wrong statements in his affidavits regarding seeking a letter from the International Cricket Council to support its stand. ICC Chairman, Shashank Manohar, as BCCI president had stated that that the interference from the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) into BCCI may lead action by the ICC
