thebalanced.newsBihar Cricket Association Challenges Former Ombudsman’s Recommendations in Supreme Court
The Bihar Cricket Association (BCA) has challenged former Ombudsman Justice LN Rao's recommendations submitted to the Supreme Court in February. The BCA opposes proposals for a fixed three-year Ombudsman tenure and strict complaint adjudication timelines, arguing these conflict with existing rules and exceed the Ombudsman's authority, which is limited to grievance redressal. The BCA also disputes the suggestion to appoint an administration to verify district cricket associations before fresh elections, stating election matters fall under the electoral officer's jurisdiction as per BCCI's constitution approved by the Supreme Court in 2018. Justice Deepak Gupta was recently appointed as the new Ombudsman after previous appointees declined the role.
