Rajasthan Cricket Association has removed former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi as its president in a bid to end its stand-off with BCCI.
The resolution to impeach Modi was passed after 23 of the 33 districts voted against the former BCCI vice-president. Vice-president Amin Pathan will take over as acting president. Three of Modi's supporters have also been removed.
Earlier in December 2013, Modi had won a court-supervised election with 29 out of 33 units voting in his favour.
Subsequently in May 2014, after Modi was declared as the president of the RCA in Jaipur, the Board of Control for Cricket in India had decided to indefinitely suspend RCA and appoint an ad-hoc body to run its cricket affairs.
In a letter to RCA, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel had said the association was being banned as per Clause 32.7 of the Board's constitution. The decision was taken by BCCI's then interim president Shivlal Yadav.
According to the BCCI's constitution, any affiliated unit defying the Board's image can be suspended. Modi has been banned by BCCI although the former IPL boss has challenged the decision in court.
