The Board of Control for Cricket in India will complete its unfinished Annual General Meeting on January 27, in Kolkata, to enable newly-elected office-bearers take over.
BCCI secretary S K Nair said the meeting would be held as per the Supreme Court's directive so that the tenure of the last managing committee, headed by Jagmohan Dalmiya, could end and a new one takes over.
"Notice to the affiliated members of the Board on the January 27 meeting and venue would be sent today," Nair informed in Chennai on Friday.
In its order on Monday, the Supreme Court directed the Board to expeditiously convene the unfinished AGM for the purpose of taking over of the new office-bearers, headed by Ranbir Singh Mahendra.
"The AGM should conclude its proceedings even if it cannot transact business on the agenda pertaining to nomination of Dalmiya as the Patron-In-Chief and his nomination as the representative of the BCCI to ICC," the court's common order had said.
The September 29-30 meeting was adjourned till October 26 to take up two pending agendas with regard to appointment of Jagmohan Dalmiya as the Patron-In-Chief.
Asked whether any other meeting of any standing committee, like the Working Committee, would be held prior to the January 27 meeting, Nair said, "First we must have this meeting concluded as per court directive."
Meanwhile, BCCI sources said all the minutes as per the approved agenda were discussed on September 30 itself and all standing committees, including the Tours and Fixtures Committee, were set up after the elections on September 29.
However, none of the members had been inducted to any committee so far, they added.
"Considering this, the January 27 meeting should go through without any hitch, but it is not known as yet whether Mr Dalmiya's nomination as Patron-in-Chief can be discussed or approved due to certain legalities involved," the sources said.
On whether Dnyaneshwar Agashe or Balasaheb Thorve of the Maharashtra Cricket Association would attend the meeting in Kolkata, the sources said, "Both were not party to the meeting on September 29 and 30 and are unlikely to be invited or allowed to attend the meeting."
It may be recalled that the duo were not allowed to vote in the last AGM.
In its order, the Supreme Court had also made clear its October 11 interim order restraining Dalmiya from becoming the Patron-in-Chief of the BCCI and stayed a Madras high court order appointing Justice S Mohan as interim administrator for conduct of the elections.
