New Delhi (PTI): The Supreme Court on Friday rescheduled the elections for the faction-ridden Rajasthan Cricket Association from February 22 to March 1 and paved the way for the group led by its President Lalit Modi to file their nominations.
The Modi faction succeeded in getting an order that the election to the 21-member executive committee will be held under the unamended constitution in terms of the apex court order of February 11, 2005.
The apex court did not alter with the process already undertaken for holding the elections by RCA Secretary Subhash Joshi, who recently parted ways with Modi and has the support of former Chief Kishore Rungta.
The Modi faction accepted the decision of the RCA on the appointment of Justice N M Kasliwal, a retired judge of the Supreme Court, as Observer/Chairman for conducting the election.
"We are of the view that the elections could be held on March 1, 2009 as per the steps already taken by the RCA," a Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice P Sathasivam said.
The Bench said that the nominations already filed and held valid will be taken on record and those who want to file their nominations now can do so within three days.
