It is subject to rule of law as it is discharging a public function. No one is above the law and BCCI is also subject matter of law,&quot; senior advocate Gopal Subramanium told the bench headed by Chief Justice T.S. Thakur and Justice F.M.I. Kalifulla.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Subramanium was appointed as amicus curiae by the apex court in the case.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The recommendations of Justice R.M. Lodha panel for whole-scale structural reforms in the BCCI were supprted by the Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The CAB counsel also said any association engaging in a specific activity can be regulated and it will not amount to violation of any fundamental rights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The bench said BCCI reforms are aimed with the objective of bringing in transparency, accountability and objectivity, and as such it doesn&#39;t involve any violation of fundamental rights of the citizens.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The apex court On Tuesday said the constitution of the BCCI is &quot;highly incapable&quot; to provide &quot;transparency, objectivity and accountability&quot; and a complete overhaul of it is required.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Agency.<\/p>\r\n",
