SC puts off BCCI case hearing to 30 November
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has rescheduled to 30 November its final hearing of the India cricket board case.
The apex court had in its last hearing of the case on 11 October, fixed 26 October for final hearing on the petitions filed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), challenging a Madras High Court order restraining newly-elected board officials from functioning.
The Supreme Court had then stayed the Madras HC order restraining newly elected/appointed office-bearers from taking over the board. The apex board had also kept the cricket board supremo Jagmohan Dalmiya on the back foot by restraining him from becoming the BCCI’s patron-in-chief.
The bench, comprising Justices N Santosh Hegde and SB Sinha, had stated then that prima facie the high court did not act properly by passing the order restraining the newly elected board while entertaining a review petition filed by Netaji Cricket Club (NCC), the petitioner before the high court.
Till 30 November, the apex court’s interim order of 11 October will continue to be in force.
The reason given for the postponement by the constitution bench headed by Justice Hegde is that the hearing could not be completed as another matter had to be heard first, due to which the hearing was rescheduled.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
