BCCI had put this argument on Tuesday
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for BCCI, argued before a bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Hima Kohli, "There is a provision of cooling off period in the present constitution. If I am an office-bearer of the State Cricket Association for one term and BCCI for the second consecutive term, I will have to undergo a cooling-off period. Both the bodies are different and their rules are also different and two consecutive terms of the office bearer are too short to prepare the leadership at the grassroots level.
