The BCCI has moved Supreme Court challenging the Calcutta High Court's directive to initiate criminal proceedings against six top board officials, including president Shashank Manohar and former president Sharad Pawar. The court directive relates to charges of perjury - filing a false affidavit - in a case involving Jagmohan Dalmiya's expulsion from the Indian board.

Dalmiya, a former board president himself, filed a case of perjury against the officials in June 2007 for allegedly producing false documents in court relating to his expulsion in December 2006.

The BCCI had filed an affidavit - signed by the six officials - in the Calcutta High Court stating that the rule under which Dalmiya had been expelled from the BCCI had been registered as required with the Registrar of Societies in Chennai. Dalmiya then filed a case against the six officials alleging that the documents submitted in court were false and were produced with intent to mislead the court.
