Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the suspension of Lalit Kumar Modi by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. The Court held that the principles of natural justice were violated as the petitioner was not provided with necessary documents and information to defend himself against the allegations. Consequently, the Court quashed the suspension order and directed the BCCI to conduct a fair inquiry in accordance with due process.
