While Sunday's Disciplinary Committee meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India ended in an impasse, the proceedings against Lalit Modi could slow down further after his camp's latest demand. Modi, through his lawyers, has asked the Board to make available to them audio and video

Making his displeasure at the Centre’s interference in the nation’s justice delivery system public, chief justice of India (CJI) SH Kapadia said on Saturday ignoring section 24 of CrPC was affecting the quality of government pleaders.

Jyotiraditya Scindia is the other member.
