The Kolkata High Court today took up the perjury case filed by former BCCI Chairman Jagmohan Dalmiya against BCCI and its president Sharad Pawar for allegedly producing false documents before the court. This would be heard on April 18.
The perjury case was filed by Dalmiya on July 20, 2007 on the day the High Court had declared that his suspension from the Board was illegal.
The former top boss of Indian cricket had alleged in the perjury case under Section 340 of Criminal Procedure Code that the Board had submitted false documents before the court. Apart from the Board and Pawar, the perjury case was filed against Niranjan Shah, Shashank Manohar and Chirayu Amin -- all top functionaries of the present BCCI management.
Dalmiya had been suspended by the Board on December 16, 2006, and subsequently forced to resign as President of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).
The former Indian cricket boss challenged the BCCI's punitive action against him before the Calcutta High Court, which said the suspension was illegal on July 20, 2007.
All this issues came up when BCCI filed a case against Dalmiya on corruption charges--misappropriating the fund to the tune of rupees 2.9 crores.

Dalmiya Arrested and Released in Bail!
Dalmiya was arrested today and released on bail later in the day. He was charged with mishandling the funds of the BCCI to the tune of 2.9 crores rupees.
BCCI states that he has paid amount to SK Industries without getting any service from them. Also, he has claimed bills for his personal travel and expenses.
Dalmiya said that the court has ruled in favor of him in the past and truth will come out in time. Any built up facts cannot equal the truth.
Close friends and other senior cricketers felt that this is not a good situation. They said that Dalmiya contributed to the growth of the Indian cricket. He has taken Cricket to other nations as well.

Sunil Gavaskar asked to choose one role!
Gavaskar's dual role as chairman of the ICC's Cricket Committee and columnist has created trouble for him from ICC. It is obvious that the ICC did not like his open and honest comments against Australia during the India's Down Under Series.
His position came up for discussion at the ICC Board Meeting in Dubai last week and Malcom Speed, the ICC Chief Executive was authorised to take up the matter with Gavaskar. This will be discussed in detail during this week's meeting in Dubai.
Though no decision is taken in this matter, it is Gavaskar who has to decide between the two. The matter got his attention when he termed Match Referee Mike Proctor as Racist though he denied that.
However, after the ICC's meeting in Dubai last week, Gavaskar slammed England and Australia in another syndicated newspaper column. "Gone are the days when two countries, England and Australia, had the veto power in international cricket, even though the dinosaurs may not open their eyes and see the reality," he wrote. "The cricketing world has found that India has no longer a diffident voice but a confident one that knows what is good for its cricket, and will strive to get it."
What will he do...wait and see!!

Pawar says No Revenge!
The new scandal in BCCI is set to open a new case against Jagmohan Dalmiya. Though Dalmiya has denied the charges and said that the Calcutta (Kolkatta) High Court has stayed all the proceedings against him, looks like BCCI is on the move already.
Pawar claims that it is not a revenge act against Dalmiya.
The world's biggest financial institution is levelling charges against each other, which is not good for Indian Cricket!

Dhoni in trouble again!
Dhoni is into trouble again but this time for sacrificing an animal. The previous controversy was surrounding the swimming pool he was constructing. The people in the surrounding areas were against this because the swimming pool requires huge water. So, if it is constructed, the entire village would face water shortage. The case was referred in the court through a PIL (Public Interest Litigation).
Recently he sacrificed an animal in the temple and it was pictured and published in the media. The animal welfare organizations were against it and creating noise over this issue. It was said that he did it as a contribution for winning the Commonwealth Bank Series in Australia.

Hayden feels he could have used better words aginst Harbhajan!
Hayden regretted his remark against Harbhajan. He said, he could have used better words instead of "obnoxious little weed" remark aginst Harbhajan. He felt his remarks added "fuel to the fire" during the down under tour.
As the tour was already packed with lot of controversies, he felt he could have used better words. He claimd that this is first slip in the 15 years of cricket. He said, Harbhajan has expressed how he fells about Australian team and he wanted to sit with Bhajji during Austriali's tour to India and see how they both can improve the relationship. He reiterated that his remarks was not intended to disgrance him personally or the game, but he could have used better words.
His "obnoxious little weed" and Habhajan's remark of "liar" about Hayden would be one of the discussion points during Australia's tour to India. Hayden is clear that he wanted to discuss these with Bhajji, put an end to all of these issues and build better relationship.

What Happened to Bob Woolmer Case?
Though the death of Bob Woolmer was hyped very much during and later part of the World Cup in 2007, it was completely forgotton! No one is talking about it and no policy investigations revealed to press, no talk in media about it.
As it is generally said in politics to introdue new problems to forget the current issues, the top news, once, is not a forgotton story. Not sure whether he was murdered or died on his own!
Only two people(?) know it 100%--the killer, if he was killed, and the GOD!

Harbhan in Trouble Again!
Even after the completing tour of Australia--famous for controversies, Australian players, board and media try to put pressure on Indian team especially Harbhajan. It was reported in the Australian media that Bhajji called Hayden a liar and mentioned that Gilchrist is not as good as everyone thinks in the on-field behavior.
Australian Board, Cricket Australia has written a letter to BCCI asking them to talk to Harbhajan and restrain him from creating new controversies / issues by talking about the completed tour of Australia. They wanted BCCI to handle this as they did it with Hayden.
BCCI has confirmed that they have received the letter and have asked Bhajji to not talk about the past issues! Bhajji has agreed for the same!
