Rohatgi appeared on behalf of Railway Sports Promotion Board, Services Sports Control Board and All India Universities. These three members of BCCI, that held full membership earlier, now stand relegated to associate member status without voting rights as per the Lodha committee’s “one state-one vote” recommendation. The apex court said that these issues will be dealt with at a later stage, after the court appoints a panel of administrators to govern BCCI in the interim and implement Lodha panel recommendations.
