    Free To Take Part In BCCI Affairs, Says SC While Lifting Ban On Anurag Thakur

    By IANS News February 05, 2026 • 18:16 PM View: 271
    Union Minister Anurag Thakur: The Supreme Court on Thursday lifted the ban on BJP MP and former Union Minister Anurag Thakur from holding office in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), nearly nine years after removing him as the cricket body's president.

    A Bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi modified its January 2017 order, which had directed Thakur to "cease and desist from being associated with the working of the BCCI".

    Allowing Thakur's application, the CJI Kant-led Bench observed that the ban was never intended to operate as a lifelong disqualification.
