RM Lodha

Justice R.M. Lodha while proposing recommendations for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had put special emphasis on the conflict of interest clause. In fact, that the Ombudsman D.K. Jain has asked Sourav Ganguly to explain his position as Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) president and Delhi Capitals (DC) advisor is due to the Lodha panels proposals. But the former Chief Justice of India is saddened how his proposals have been taken for a ride.

This is after BCCI CEO Rahul Johri wrote to the ombudsman, asking him to allow the former India skipper to continue in his role if Ganguly makes ‘full disclosures' of his interests. Johri on behalf of the board wrote to Jain that if full disclosures were made, Ganguly for his ‘vast knowledge', should be allowed to continue. This is a clear case of interfering in the functioning of the ombudsman and Lodha isn't too pleased.
