In his affidavit the BCCI President pointed out his conversation with ICC chairman Shashank Manohar.
“Manohar explained to me when stand was taken by him, matter was pending before Court & was not decided,” is what is mentioned in the affidavit.
The affidavit also mentioned “Manohar (when he was BCCI president) had taken a view that the recommendations of Justice Lodha committee appointing the nominee of CAG on apex council would amount to government interference and might invoke an action of suspension from ICC; therefore requested him that being the ICC Chairman can a letter be issued.”
On Saturday, during a hurriedly called Special Genral Meeting in Delhi, it was unanimously decided that the board will stand against the implementation of the Lodha Panel recommendations.
According to a member who attended Saturday’s SGM feel it was difficult for the Board to amend its constitution since it requires a three-fourths majority as per the Societies Act.
