vThe Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) has submitted a plea to the Supreme Court seeking contempt action against BCCI president Anurag Thakur, secretary Ajay Shirke and former judge Markandey Katju for their vilification campaign against the Supreme Court. CAB secretary Aditya Vermas plea comes a day after the BCCI filed a petition seeking a review of the Supreme Courts verdict in which most of the Lodha Committees recommendations had been approved. It is understood that Vermas petition is likely to be heard next week.Verma alleged that Thakur, Shirke and Katju, appointed to counsel the BCCI on the Supreme Court verdict, were trying to stonewall the reforms. He contended there was an attempt at scandalising the Court and lowering its dignity in the eyes of the public at large and which would also amount to a direct interference in the administration of justice.That the intentions of the BCCI officers are mala fide is evident from the media campaign that is being carried out at their behest, Verma stated in his petition. Almost on a daily basis statements are being made which are not innocent criticism of the judgment passed by this Honble Court but an elaborate vilification campaign undertaken through the powerful tool of the media with a view to drum up public opinion that the judiciary of the country is transgressing its limits.Verma also referred to several media reports that published Katjus statements criticising the Supreme Courts judgment. Katju had called the verdict unconstitutional and illegal, while also terming the Lodha panel null and void. Verma stated that Katjus remarks were clearly libelous and in defiance of the judgment.The Contemnor No. 3 [Katju] who has been a part of the judicial system is well aware of the binding nature of the judgments passed by this Honble Court, Verma said. It is therefore, all the more deplorable that the Contemnor no.3 has been making the members of the judiciary sitting targets of his vile comments.Verma also objected to Thakurs absence in the meeting with the Lodha Committee on August 9. While Shirke attended the meeting, Thakur, a member of parliament with the ruling party, BJP, informed of his unavailability with the parliament being in session. Verma also alleged that Thakur had lowered the authority of the Supreme Court by alluding to judicial interference in the BCCIs affairs.On August 11, 2016 Mr. Anurag Thakur, President BCCI, made the following statement - People who have never played the game, they are trying to govern the Board. Efforts are being made to cut BCCIs roots. This statement tends to lower the authority of the Honble Supreme Court within the meaning of criminal contempt defined in section 2 (c) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971.Vermas petition following the IPL 2013 corruption scandal had triggered a slew of courtroom battles that culminated in the creation of the Lodha Committee to initiate structural reforms within the BCCI.

Dave Roberts Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. HONOLULU -- Charging into violent waves at a Maui surf break known as Jaws, a group of women made history Friday as they competed for the first time in the World Surf Leagues big-wave surfing competition.The female competitors paddled into mountains of turquoise water towering more than 30 feet, but the wind shifted at the start of the first heat and several were pummeled by an unexpected breaking wave.Women have pushed for years to be included in big-wave surfing competitions, while organizers of some contests argued that conditions at famous breaks such as Mavericks in California were too dangerous for women.That competition will include women for the first time this season after state regulators said they might refuse to grant a permit if women were not included. And for the World Surf League, which holds professional competitions around the globe, its been a matter of getting enough participants to hold a womens event.Competitor Bianca Valenti, who has pushed for women to be included in professional big-wave surf contests, called the day a big step forward for women in the sport.Its the least we can do to speak to the election the other day, Valenti told The Associated Press in a phone interview before the competition, referring to Hillary Clintons defeat by President-elect Donald Trump.I watched Hillarys concession speech and what she was saying -- how important it was for women to really stand up now more than ever to break the glass ceiling -- and that really resonated a lot, Valenti added.There are 12 women and 24 men competing in separate events at the perilouus Hawaii break, where competitors training regimes include building up the ability to hold their breath underwater for four minutes in case they are pinned under by crashing waves.ddddddddddddTwo women were taken to the hospital with knee injuries during Fridays first heat, and Valentis surfboard broke in half during the second heat when she wiped out on a wave.Paige Alms, a surfer from Hawaii, also had a few humbling wipeouts, but won the competition.I still feel like its kind of a dream, but ah, I cant believe it, Alms told the World Surf League after her win. What a blessing to be out there with just a couple girls. That was special, for sure.The World Surf League only recently began holding a big-wave competition, spokesman Dave Prodan said. With a small window of time when conditions are right, its hard to accommodate a large group of men and women, he added.Women have for years and years been participating in the big-wave community, but probably only in recent years have you had a jump in participation to the point where you have that depth in the field to hold an event, Prodan said.In California, the renowned big-wave competition Titans of Mavericks agreed to include women for the first time this season, although it has not yet been held.This is really about paving the way for the future generations and creating opportunities for them, Valenti said. Just the importance of using our voice all the time and speaking up for what we want. ' ' '
