New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Sundar Raman to continue as Chief Operating Officer of IPL 7, as per recommendations from BCCI`s interim president Sunil Gavaskar.
However, the Supreme Court rejected N Srinivasan’s appeal against the earlier ruling that removed him as the BCCI president.
Notably, unrecognised Cricket Association of Bihar secretary Aditya Verma had earlier stepped up pressure on Gavaskar to remove Sundar Raman from the post of IPL COO.
"I had earlier invited your kind attention to the fact that Mr. Sundar Raman`s continuation as COO of IPL is deeply prejudicial to the interest of IPL and game of cricket.
"However, no action has been taken on my said letter nor any response to the same has been given. By way of this reminder, I would urge you that in the interest of IPL and the game of cricket please remove Sundar Raman as COO of IPL," Verma wrote in a letter to Gavaskar.
Verma had already voiced his opposition to continuation of Raman as IPL COO.
It was Verma, who had filed a PIL in June last year, contending to the Bombay High Court that that BCCI`s two-member internal probe panel investigating into the IPL fixing issue was unconstitutional.
Srinivasan on Tuesday knocked the doors of the Supreme Court for reconsidering its interim order keeping him away from the affairs of the Board and sought its permission to resume his office, the tenure of which is till September this year.
Srinivasan, who narrated the sequences of events that led the apex court to ask him to discontinue functioning as BCCI president, contended that "unfair and unsubstantiated allegations" were made against him by the senior counsel appearing for Bihar Cricket Association.
