Suspended IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi will file his reply to the third show cause notice today,repeating his demand that BCCI president Shashank Manohar and secretary N Srinivasan recuse themselves from participating in any disciplinary proceedings,if any,against him.
Modi will e-mail his reply today and his legal counsel Mehmood Abdi will handover the hard copy of the same on Thursday. In reply to the third show cause notice Mr Modi is going to reiterate his demand for recusal of both Hononory BCCI secretary N Srivasan and BCCI president Shashank Manohar, Abdi said.
The notice had accused Modi of irregularities in the awarding of theatrical rights during the third IPL season. The trail of show cause notices issued to Mr. Modi shows that the Honorary secretary is misusing his position in the BCCI to settle personal scores with him.There is a continuous issuance of notices wherein the allegations are wholly misconceived and irresponsible. The notices are being issued despite full knowledge that no material warranting their issuance existed, he said.
Modis application seeking Srinivasans exclusion from proceedings against him is still undecided. Despite this,the Honorary secretary continues to issue further notices. In the interest of justice and fair play it is incumbent upon Srinivasan to totally exclude himself.
