Supreme Court to Reconsider Restrictions Imposed on Anurag Thakur in BCCI Matter

The Supreme Court of India has agreed to hear Anurag Thakur’s plea seeking modification of its 2017 direction asking him to “cease and desist” from association with the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

The plea arises from an order in which the Court initiated contempt and perjury proceedings against Thakur for filing a false affidavit concerning a letter written to International Cricket Council chairperson Shashank Manohar on BCCI’s autonomy.

Though contempt proceedings were later dropped, Thakur now seeks modification of the restraint.

The matter will be heard after two weeks.
