Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is amenable to writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, despite not being a 'State' under Article 12, as it performs public functions. The Court upheld the establishment of a committee led by Justice R.M. Lodha to investigate allegations of misconduct and recommend necessary amendments to BCCI's governance structure. The judgment emphasized the need for reforms in the BCCI to ensure transparency and accountability in its operations.
