The SGM, which is likely to be chaired by president in-exile N Srinivasan, has been convened to discuss the report of the Diciplinary Committee on Modi and decide the quantum of disciplinary punishment. Two-third of the majority will need to vote in favour of Modi's life ban.
It effectively means that a minimum of 21 votes are required out of the total 31 units to make the former IPL czar a persona non-grata in the world's richest cricket board.
"Save Punjab Cricket Association (PCA), expect no other BCCI units to support Modi tomorrow. Even PCA's case will depend on who attends the SGM -- persident I S Bindra who is a Modi backer or secretary M P Pandove who is not known to possess a hardline stance," a BCCI official said.
While Modi got a stay order from Patiala House Court on Saturday, the Delhi high court today gave a favourable verdict to the BCCI which literally ends any chances Modi harboured of escaping the life ban.
Modi was the IPL chairman-cum-commissioner during the first three editions but was suspended immediately after the closing ceremony in 2010, on charges of financial irregularities in running of the league as well as improper practices during auction of two new teams before the third edition.
During the suspension, a three-member disciplinary committee comprising political heavyweights Arun Jaitely and Jyotiraditya Scindia along with president Srinivasan was formed. But Srinivasan recused himself and the erstwhile IPL chairman Chirayu Amin was made a member. But subsequently Amin also recused himself and it became a two-member committee.
However by the time, Jaitley, who looked after the legal part and Scindia, who looked on the charges of impropriety, submitted an exhaustive 400-page report, Srinivasan had stepped aside from discharging his functions.
A lot of BCCI officials have already started descending in Chennai for the meeting.
It is learnt that all the BCCI members have been invited to be part of three-day pleasure trip to Mahabalipuram by the current BCCI president before they are back in Chennai for the all-important Annual General Meeting of the Board on September 29.
Srinivasan is expected to get an year's extension as the president but there is a Supreme Court hearing on Friday on an Interim Application (IA) filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar secretary Aditya Verma with an appeal to bar the Tamil Nadu strongman from contesting the elections in the AGM.
