Former Indian Premier League (IPL) commissioner Lalit Modi, who has been expelled for life by the Indian cricket board, Wednesday got the green signal from the Supreme Court appointed observer to fight for the post of president in the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) elections slated for Thursday. ‘SC observer Justice N.M. Kasliwal and election officer B.L. Gupta have given their nod. Modi’s nomination will be accepted. He will be able to contest the election for the post of RCA president,’ a top official in RCA, on the condition of anonymity. The election for 21 posts of the RCA executive committee is scheduled to take place Dec 19. Modi’s lawyer Mehmood Abdi, who is also contesting for the post of vice-president in RCA, had filed nomination on behalf of Modi. ‘There was no question of withdrawal of nomination as his name has been cleared,’ sources close to Modi said. He is expected to win by a big margin.
