Lalit Modi is not expected to appear in person before the BCCI disciplinary committee in the near future as the suspended IPL commissioner is just pressing for recusal of two members of the panel, his lawyer Mohammad Abdi said.
"It is just a recusal issue now and there is no need for Modi to appear in person. If required he will appear by a video conferencing or tele conferencing." Abdi said just before going in for the third hearing of the disciplinary committee.
"If Modi's security allows, he may appear in future," he added.
The three-member disciplinary panel, comprising Chirayu Amin, Arun Jaitley and Jyotiraditya Scindia, had allowed Modi to be represented by his lawyers during their July 16 meeting after the suspended IPL commissioner received death threats from the under world.
Disclosing that there was some new development today, Abdi said BCCI was indulging in some 'ugly' things.
"Just a while ago, I came to know that BCCI are planning to do some ugly things but I cannot disclose it right now. I will have to seek their clarification first in this matter today before pressing for recusal issue," he said.
"If such ugly things continue, the issue will drag on and it will take a long time to sort it out," Abdi said when asked if there will be any decision.
At the second hearing of the disciplinary committee here last Tuesday, Abdi had pressed for the inclusion of a retired Supreme Court judge and recusal of Chirayu Amin and Arun Jaitely from the BCCI's disciplinary panel, probing into the alleged financial irregularities of Modi.
The suspended IPL chief Lalit Modi lashed out at the BCCI for probing his alleged irregularities, and has demanded recusal of his lawyers representing him in the case.
Till date it is Modi, who has been demanding recusal of Chirayu Amin and Arun Jaitley from the three-member committee.
Modi, who has not appeared in person before the committee in the three hearings so far, made the claim on his twitter page and said he was shocked by the BCCI demand.
"Just heard that BCCI want my lawyers to recuse themselves! Shocked since meeting was for committee's recusal," Modi wrote on his twitter page.
"People party to all decisions don't want to recuse themselves. But want my team who are presenting my case too.
Is this how an enquiry is done?" he questioned.
Modi, whose series of tweets began after the third hearing started here, alleged that BCCI was not looking for a solution but just interested in dragging on the issue.
"Am surprised by committee's actions. Want to bring this matter to rest but being forced to drag it on," Modi tweeted.
