Confirming this in Mumbai on Wednesday night, Justice Dhanuka said, "I submitted my resignation from all the posts held by me in the BSE on May 2, through a letter to be forwarded to the governing board."

Justice Dhanuka refused to elaborate on the reasons for quitting as a public representative from the board, saying: "I do not want to create a controversy."
