Legally entangled Modi appoints panel

Agencies

Jaipur: Rajasthan Cricket Association President Lalit Modi has appointed a three-member arbitration tribunal to look into the contentious issues raised by some district associations against him.

The bench of arbitrators comprises retired Supreme Court Chief Justice R C Lahoti, retired apex court Justices Kuldeep Singh and Justice A R Lakshmanan.

Modi is in danger of being stripped of absolute powers he was enjoying as the RCA President as about 24 of the 32 district units, including that of Secretary Subhash Joshi, handed a memorandum to Registrar of Societies.

The district associations are also pressing hard to revert to RCA's old constitution as Modi, with the backing of then Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, had managed to bring a 'Sports Ordinance' in the state in 2005.
