In Brief
This interlocutory judgment addresses the BCCI's contractual obligations to State Associations for cricket matches and clarifies the interpretation of a nine-year disqualification rule for office bearers. The Court held that the BCCI must honour contracts for test matches and ODIs. The judgment clarifies that office bearers disqualified after nine years in a State Association post remain eligible for BCCI office, while those with nine years at BCCI level are disqualified from BCCI posts. The nine-year limit applies separately at each tier of cricket administration.
