COA MEMBERS DISCUSS PENDING ISSUES WITH NEW AMICUS CURIAE
New Delhi, Feb. 18: The Committee of Administrators ( CoA) on Monday met Amicus Curiae P S Narasimha to discuss the pending legal issues before the next Supreme Court hearing, scheduled on February 21.
One of the key issues that could be taken up by the two- judge bench of Justice S A Bobde and Abhay Manohar Sapre is the appointment of Ombudsman, who could take a call on the KL RahulHardik Pandya controversy. Rahul and Pandya were provisionally suspended by the BCCI for their sexist comments on a TV chat show ‘ Koffee With Karan’.
The suspension was later revoked pending inquiry. The two cricketers are back in national colours but the final verdict will only be passed once the apex court gives the go- ahead for appointment of Ombudsman.
Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji, the two warring members of the SCappointed body, have hardly concurred on various policy decisions of late. However, with the case pending in the apex court, the two members needed to sit for a briefing with the Amicus and update him about the status of compliance as far as the various state units are concerned. Both Rai and Edulji were unavailable for a comment.
It is still not clear whether the CoA will be filing another status report as to which of the affiliated units are fully Lodha Committee recommendations compliant, how many are partially and how many non- compliant.
