                                    with
                        civil appeal no.4236 of 2014

                                    with

                                  O R D E R

      By our order pronounced on 2nd January, 2017 we had requested  learned
amicus curiae, Mr. Gopal Subramaniam, and  Mr.   Fali  S.  Nariman,  learned
senior counsel to assist us in nominating the members of  the  committee  of
administrators to be appointed in terms of the said  order.    Although  Mr.
Nariman had tentatively agreed to do the needful, he today submits  that  he
may have an embarrassment in accepting the  assignment  on  account  of  the
fact that he had been in the year 2009 retained on behalf of the  BCCI.   We
quite appreciate the difficulty expressed by  Mr.  Nariman  and  accordingly
discharge him of the role assigned to him.  In his  place,  we  request  Mr.
Anil B. Divan, learned senior counsel, to assist the Court and to  recommend
suitable  names  for  appointment   as   members   of   the   committee   of
administrators in consultation with the amicus, Mr. Gopal Subramaniam.


      Mr. Gopal Subramaniam also  draws  our  attention  to  an  inadvertent
error  in   our   Order,   clause   25(i)(f)   whereof   shall   now   stand
modified/corrected to read as under:

“25(i)(f)   Has been an Office Bearer of the BCCI or a State

                 Association for a  cumulative period of 9 years”
