The Supreme Court on Friday closed shut the funding of the 25 State associations

of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), barring them from using th
e board's funds till they accept the Justice Lodha Committee reforms in letter an
d spirit.
A bench, led by Chief Justice of India T.S. Thakur, ordered that the BCCI will n
ot disburse Rs. 16.73 crore each to 13 State associations as per a decision take
n in the Special General Meeting (SGM) on September 30.
These 13 associations are yet to receive their share of a pay-off made by a priv
ate sport channel to the BCCI regards the broadcasting rights of the Champions T
rophy and T20 tournaments.
In a short order, Chief Justice Thakur said the pending Rs. 16.73 crore and any
future funds would be released to them only after they passed a resolution to un
dertake to comply with the Lodha reforms and filed affidavits before both the Lo
dha panel and the Supreme Court attaching copies of such a resolution.
