Mumbai, March 22: The BCCI today told the Bombay High Court that it would “request” its disciplinary committee to defer its enquiry initiated against Lalit Modi till April 5 when the High Court is expected to give its order on the appeal of the former IPL chairman challenging the enquiry proceedings.
A division bench of justices Ranjana Desai and R G Ketkar was hearing an appeal filed by Modi challenging an earlier order directing the cricket board to initiate the enquiry proceedings.
The bench after reserving its order till April 5 asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to consider deferring the Disciplinary Committee (DC) proceedings against Modi till the appeal is decided.
BCCI counsel Rafiq Dada told the High Court that he would send a request letter to the committee, which is expected to start proceedings this evening in Delhi, to consider deferring the enquiry till April 5.
