Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the eligibility of candidates for the President's post in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the framework of the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association. The Court held that the Board must not disqualify candidates based on residential qualifications, affirming the interim order of the Madras High Court which appointed a former Supreme Court Judge to oversee the election process. The Court emphasized the importance of fair representation and the right to contest elections, thereby upholding the principles of transparency and inclusivity in sports governance.
