Pawar in trouble? HC takes up perjury case

Dalmiya's lawyer Arindam Banerjee alleged that the Board had placed forged documents before the High Court regarding condonation of time of application for the registration of an amendment to BCCI's Clause V of Rule 38, which relates to punitive action against a member of the Board.

He claimed the Board had wrongly claimed to have got permission from the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration body to register the amendment at a later date.

Stating that an amendment must be registered with TNSRA within three months, Dalmiya's lawyer claimed that the application for condonation of delay was filed six years after the amendment was made in September, 2000.

It was applied for only after the suspension of Dalmiya, Banerjee claimed. Dalmiya had been suspended by the Board on December 16, 2006, and subsequently forced to resign from the post of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president.

The former Indian cricket boss challenged the BCCI's punitive action against him before the Calcutta High Court, which after hearing out case, termed the suspension illegal on July 20, 2007.

It was during the hearing of this case before the high court that the Board had produced false documents, Dalmiya alleged.
