KOLKATA, March 18: Jagmohan Dalmiya, former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been served a contempt notice for attending the Executive Board meeting of the ICC in New Delhi this week. Reports on Friday said that notices were also served on several delegates of the ICC by lawyers of Chennai’s Theagaraya Recreation Club, warning them that if Dalmiya was allowed to attend the meeting as a representative of BCCI, it would amount to contempt of a restraining order passed by a Madras court in January.

Dalmiya was quoted to have said that since the BCCI did not appoint anyone for the two-day meeting, he went ahead and attended it claiming he would continue to do so.

Usually, in such meetings, the BCCI is represented by its president or the secretary. The case against Dalmiya was to be formally filed in Chennai on Friday.

Dalmiya, who has also headed the ICC, already has at least half a dozen cases pending against him. He is the current president of the Cricket Association of Bengal which is hosting the second Test between Pakistan and India at the Eden Gardens.
