The judge also dismissed Modi’s cross-appeal against the decision of the trial court which had declined to pass an interim order on his plea challenging the appointment of Sanjay Patel as secretary and Jagmohan Dalmiya as the interim chief of the cricket board by N Srinivasan.
Rejecting the arguments of Modi’s lawyer who questioned the appointment of Dalmiya and Patel, the court said: “Srinivasan continues to be the president of the BCCI and he is also vested with some power to appoint them as functionaries of the board.”
