In Brief
The Supreme Court was seized with a civil appeal concerning the nomination of a Committee of Administrators for the Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI). At a January 2017 hearing, the Court clarified a disqualification provision regarding office bearers' tenure. It deferred deciding whether certain categories—Railways, Armed Forces, and Universities—could be affected by restrictions on government servant appointments, and whether the Justice Lodha Committee could issue FAQs beyond fixing remuneration. The matter was listed for further proceedings.
