BCCI moves to comply with PoSH laws, meeting called to ratify IC panel

5/25/2023

The BCCI has called a special general body meeting on May 27 in Ahmedabad and in its five-point agenda, secretary Jay Shah has included “Ratification of Prevention of Sexual harassment policy.”
In 2021, the Indian board had decided that its officials, players and contracted individuals will come under POSH guidelines. However, it didn't have any committee to look into allegations.

A few days after the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) issued a notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for non-compliance with the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (PoSH) Act, the Indian board has now decided to act on this missing piece of legislation.

The BCCI has called a special general body meeting on May 27 in Ahmedabad and in its five-point agenda, secretary Jay Shah has included “Ratification of Prevention of Sexual harassment policy.”

The Indian board doesn’t have an Internal Committee to looks into any allegations of sexual harassment. In 2019, the BCCI had appointed Rajlaxmi Arora as the head of its IC alongwith Saba Karim (BCCI’s then general manager, cricket operations), Rupawati Rao (treasury department) and Veena Gowda (external member). However, since the subsequent dispensation took charge of the board, the BCCI hasn’t re-appointed an IC.

A week ago, taking suo moto cognizance of a report in The Indian Express, that highlighted the non-compliance with the PoSH laws by national sports federations, the NHRC issued notices to the erring bodies as well as the Union Sports Ministry and the BCCI. The NHRC called it a ‘matter of concern’ which could ‘impact the legal right and dignity of sportspersons’, and gave the federations four weeks to submit detailed reports.

In 2021, the Indian board had decided that its officials, players and contracted individuals will come under POSH guidelines. However, it didn’t have any committee to look into allegations.
