Srinivasan moves SC, accuses BCCI secretary of perjury
N Srinivasan moved the country’s highest court accusing BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur of committing an offence of perjury before the top court for making a 'plethora of misleading' statements, including that he had "barged" into a meeting of the BCCI working committee in Kolkata on August 28.
According to Press Trust of India, Srinivasan stated that, in the application filed by the BCCI seeking clarification whether he can attend its meetings, Thakur had filed a false affidavit relating to the August 28 meeting which was adjourned sine die. Earlier, Srinivasan had been barred by the apex court from officiating at the helm of affairs of BCCI in the wake of conflict of interest issue arising out of owning an Indian Premier League team.
The report said that the former BCCI president has sought action under Sections 193 (punishment for false evidence) and 209 (dishonestly making false claim in court) of the IPC against Thakur. Reportedly, the affidavit in question referred to the issue of conflict of interest by mentioning the contents of the India Cements Shareholders Trust including that Srinivasan was the trustee.
He claimed the BCCI secretary has also made wrong statement in the affidavit about the amendment to the Rule 6.2.4, which was struck down by the apex court judgment on January 22 this year.
“The averments in the false (BCCI) application can then only be personal to Anurag Thakur, who has abused the process of this court by filing his personal false affidavit in the garb of an affidavit on behalf of the BCCI," said Srinivasan, while referring to the statement in which alleged conflict of interest was cited against him for being the trustee in India Cements Shareholders Trust that owns IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings.
Srinavasan claimed that he was sitting in the meeting and the then President had arrived 30 minutes late and the meeting adjourned sine die without any discussion. Therefore, it would be wrong to suggest that he had barged into the meeting.
