New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday stayed all criminal proceedings initiated by the Calcutta High Court against Union Minister Sharad Pawar and five other BCCI officials in the Jagmohan Dalmiya expulsion case.

A Bench headed by Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan stayed the proceedings on the applications moved by Pawar and five officials who contended that they were not heard by the High Court while passing the order.

Besides Pawar, others who were put on the dock were BCCI President Sashank Manohar, former secretary Niranjan Shah, Ratnakar Shetty (Chief Administrative Officer), N Srinivasan (Secretary) and Chirayu Amin, junior Cricket Committee Chairman.

The Calcutta High Court had on November 12 directed initiation of criminal proceedings against Manohar, former Board president Sharad Pawar and four officials for filing "false" affidavits in the Dalmiya expulsion case.

Dalmiya, a former BCCI chief, was expelled from the Board for alleged financial irregularities.

How much power does this man want? by C. Deepa on 2008-12-05 16:59:05.636134+05:30
This fellow is so so infirm, he cannot even talk straight and with his one functioning finger he is desperately clinging to power and money. Even brought the daughter back from US and installed her in Rajya Sabha to protect his ill gotten gains. Shame ! Shame! All he has done in the last one week is negotiate with the Italian over who should get CM's post in Maharashtra. Only death will rid us off the politicians we have.

This is another example of how powerful and mighty people get out freely, despite of their wrong doings.
