The BCCI said -

 “Mr. Lalit Modi is guilty of committing acts of serious misconduct and indiscipline, and therefore, in exercise of powers as per Regulation 32 of the Memorandum and Rules and Regulations of the Board, Mr. Lalit Modi is hereby expelled by the BCCI. He shall forfeit all his rights and privileges as administrator.

Haryana Cricket Association secretary Anirudh Chaudhary proposed the resolution. It was seconded by Orissa Cricket Association president Ranjib Biswal.

Mehmood Abdi, lawyer for Lalit Modi, said he would challenge in court the life ban the BCCI imposed on the former IPL commissioner.

The meeting, which began at 2 p.m., was over in an hour
