Board Of Control For Cricket vs Cricket Aasociation Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the need for structural changes within the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following allegations of sporting fraud and conflict of interest. The Court reaffirmed its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, emphasizing that BCCI, while not a 'State' under Article 12, performs public functions warranting judicial oversight. The Court established a Committee to recommend necessary amendments to BCCI's memorandum of association and rules, focusing on election conduct and conflict of interest mechanisms, thereby promoting accountability and transparency in cricket administration.
