New Delhi: The Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai said on Monday that 26 state bodies have complied with the new constitution of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and also appointed electoral officers to conduct elections while there were another four associations which were in the process of appointing electoral officers. He went on to add that those non-compliant will not be allowed to vote in the BCCI elections. But Supreme Court lawyers and State Associations are of the view that this is for the apex court to decide.

Speaking to IANS, state associations' lawyer Amol Chitale made it clear that as far as the state associations are concerned, it was for the Supreme Court to decide if an association has complied or not and the top court has not said anything with regard to the eligibility of a member association to participate in the BCCI elections and has only laid down the eligibility for the individuals who will represent the associations in court.
