New Delhi: Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Anurag Thakur on Thursday tendered a fresh “unconditional” and “unequivocal” apology in the Supreme Court, saying it was never his intention to undermine the majesty of the apex court. The apex court had directed him to file a “one-page short affidavit” tendering an apology while making it clear that it was not going to consider his earlier affidavit of apology. The apex court had also asked Thakur to be present on 14 July to tender the apology, indicating that it was willing to accept the apology and close the contempt proceedings against Thakur. Thakur had on 6 March tendered an “unconditional and unqualified apology” before the apex court, saying he had never intended to file any false information before the apex court. Guha had recently informed the apex court that he has tendered his resignation due to personal reasons to Rai.
