New Delhi: Taking a tough stance on BCCI's defiance of its recommendations, the Lodha Committee yesterday said it will file a status report with the Supreme Court (SC), highlight the "impediments" in the implementation of its reform proposals to the Board.

The SC-appointed panel held an internal meeting here to discuss the violations, specifically the election of secretary and appointment of a five-member selection committee, by BCCI in its Annual General Meeting on September 21.

"The session was about the developments and the decisions taken by the BCCI in its AGM on September 21.

They have decided to send the report to the Supreme Court. If there are any impediments in implementation of the recommendations the committee will submit a status report. "We are submitting the status report because the committee finds that there are impediments," Justice RM Lodha told reporters.

The Lodha panel had recommended a set of sweeping reforms in BCCI, including restricting the tenure of office bearers, introducing cooling-off period for administrators, cutting down the present five-member selection panel to three and employing the one state one vote policy, among others.

The Indian cricket board has called for a Special General Meeting (SGM) on September 30 to consider the amendments to the rules and regulations of the Board, as recommended by the Lodha Committee.
