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.

Another session titled ‘Another Dunkirk?’ will bring together K. J. S. Dhillon and Jitin Prasada among others.
CNN-News18 editorial affairs director Rahul Shivshankar said, “In times of war, clarity becomes the most powerful tool. Fury in the Gulf – War Conclave brings together credible voices to address the questions and confusion that arise amid an overwhelming influx of information.”
He added that the initiative is aimed at delivering “facts, perspective, and insight” at a time when misinformation can easily cloud public understanding.
Echoing the sentiment, CNN-News18 CEO– English and business news Smriti Mehra said the conflict marks a defining global moment, with consequences that extend well beyond the region. She noted that the conclave seeks to present the crisis with “depth, nuance and responsibility” so audiences can better grasp its real-world impact.
