BCCI disciplinary committee to resume hearing on Sep 26

New Delhi, September 15: The BCCI’s disciplinary committee, probing charges of financial irregularities against suspended IPL chairman Lalit Modi, will resume its hearing on September 26 here after the cross-examination process could not be completed despite a marathon session.

The cross examination of IMG official Peter Griffiths, a BCCI’s witness, could not be completed as Modi’s counsel Kotwal sought more time to question the witness.

After the first two days of the hearing could not make much progress because of the petition in the Bombay High Court and Jyotiraditya Scindia’s illness, the disciplinary committee’s meeting this afternoon lasted for close to six hours before it was decided that it would meet again on September 26 as scheduled.

“The cross-examination of Peter Griffiths is still not concluded. Mr Kotwal, learned counsel for Lalit Modi says he may take some more time.
