Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the non-compliance of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) with its directives, as outlined in the judgment dated 18 July 2016 and subsequent status reports. The Court noted that BCCI's actions constituted a defiance of the Committee's authority and potentially contempt of court, as BCCI failed to cooperate and provide necessary responses. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the timelines set for implementing the Committee's recommendations and criticized BCCI for disbursing funds contrary to the Committee's directives, thereby undermining the Court's dignity.
