The BCCI on Friday moved the Supreme Court challenging a Calcutta High Court’s directive to initiate criminal proceedings against six top officials for filing false affidavits in the Jagmohan Dalmiya expulsion case.

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

The court’s order had come eight months after Dalmiya, a former BCCI president, alleged perjury against Pawar and Board officials and sought criminal proceedings against them for allegedly producing false documents.
