In Brief
The Supreme Court clarified its earlier order on cricket administration, addressing concerns about BCCI's contractual obligations and office-bearer eligibility. The Court affirmed that BCCI must honour all contracts with State Associations regarding international matches. Regarding the 9-year disqualification rule for office bearers, the Court clarified that disqualification operates separately for BCCI and State Association posts—someone barred from a State Association after 9 years' service may still seek BCCI office, and vice versa. Tripartite contracts must be executed before financial benefits accrue, and the Committee of Administrators may consider representations on association eligibility matters."
