BCCI on Tuesday filed a petition in Supreme Court seeking review of its July 18 verdict in which it had accepted most recommendations of the R M lodha panel on reforms in the cricketing body, saying the bench headed by Chief Justice TS Thakur had "a prejudiced approach" against it and he should recuse from hearing the matter.
The BCCI also contended that the judgement was "unreasoned" and "seeks to frame legislative measures for a private autonomous society in a field already occupied by legislations, both parliamentary and state".
However, the most important aspect of the review petition, which also demanded an open court hearing, is the plea for recusal of the CJI from hearing it alleging that there has been a "prejudiced approach" against BCCI.
