Dravid cleared of conflict of interest charges

The former Indian captain has been cleared of conflict of interest charges, says BCCI ethics officer Justice (retd.) DK Jain.

“I am convinced that on facts at hands, a case of conflict of interest as enshrined in the Rules is not made out. Resultantly, the complaint is dismissed being bereft of any merit (sic),” read Thursday’s order which is in possession of PTI.

As per Rule 38 (4) of BCCI constitution, no individual can hold more than one post at the same time.

The conflict of interest rose when Dravid was made the NCA director. Sanjeev Gupta, a life member of the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA), filed a complaint of conflict of interest against Dravid as the latter also holds the position of vice-president India Cements which is connected to Chennai Super Kings.

Dravid pointed out that he had been an employee of Indian Cements for two decades, but never had “any connection, relationship or obligation” towards the Super Kings.

The BCCI also told Justice Jain that the Super Kings franchise was run by Chennai Super Kings Cricket Ltd., registered in 2013 under the Indian Companies Act. It had nothing to do with India Cements, which was an independent entity. Hence, the BCCI said Dravid could not be an employee of the Super Kings, as per Gupta’s complaint.

According to Justice Jain, to avoid any complications at the behest of the BCCI, Dravid had handed a written copy from Indian Cements giving leave of absence until he was employed by the board.
