Supreme Court asks BCCI why National Sports Governance Act should not apply

The Supreme Court has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India and all state cricket associations why they should not be governed by the National Sports Governance Act, 2025. A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana made the observation while hearing applications filed by cricket bodies.

The bench also asked advocates for the BCCI and state associations to take instructions on why the terms and conditions of service of their office bearers should not be governed by the 2025 Act. The apex court has been dealing with a plea concerning the BCCI since 2014.

The top court had earlier constituted a committee headed by former Chief Justice of India R M Lodha to suggest reform measures, including framing of a constitution for the BCCI.
