Last month, Sachin Tendulkar was served a ‘conflict of interest’ notices by DK Jain, BCCI’s ombudsman-cum-ethics officer.
The notice was in regard to conflict of interest, that said that Tendulkar is allegedly performing dual roles of support staff and member of Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC). The complaint was filed by Sanjeev Gupta of Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association.
However, BCCI ethics committee officer Justice DK Jain on Monday dismissed all such allegations against Sachin Tendulkar. Even the legendary cricketer himself had said in the past that he gets no monetary benefits working with the Mumbai Indian franchise.
“Once the BCCI furnished the terms of reference and tenure, he will decide on the course of his participation in the same. Mr Tendulkar doesn’t consider himself to be part of any Cricket Advisory Committee and will not act as such. In consequence, the present complaint doesn’t survive for adjudication.”
“….resultantly, the present complaint is rendered infructuous and is disposed of, as such,” Jain wrote in his verdict. (H/T – NDTV Sports)
On the other hand, Sachin Tendulkar’s legal counsel read: “Without prejudice to his rights and contentions in the present proceeding, Mr Sachin Tendulkar wishes to reiterate that he has been requesting BCCI since the inception of the CAC that terms of reference and his tenure is furnished to him.
“He has requested this repeatedly and several times over the years including as recently as on 7.12.2018. He is now left with no other choice but communicates to BCCI that until and unless the BCCI furnishes the terms of reference and tenure of his appointment in the CAC, he has decided not be part of any committee of the BCCI including the CAC.”
