Acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry also received the notice.
As per the third Status Report of COA, dated April 6, Johri is considered its representative in all BCCI meetings but during the board's SGMâu00c2u0080u00c2u0088acting secretary Amitabh requested Johri to leave the meeting premises along with other employees of the cricket board.
The acting secretary's contention was that since the Supreme Court, in its July 24 judgement, has strictly mentioned that only office bearers of state associations can attend the SGM, they were following the apex court's directive "in letter and spirit".
Apart from Johri, general manager MV Sridhar was also not allowed to attend the meeting.
Meanwhile, the BCCI general body has entrusted its three principal office-bearers — Khanna, Choudhary and Chaudhry — to decide on the next Ombudsman of the board.
