Mumbai, June 25 -- The never ending Lalit Modi-N Srinivasan saga took another turn on Wednesday when the suspended IPL chairman demanded his suspension be "placed before the General Body" of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Srinivasan, the BCCI secretary, circulated a six-page letter to all BCCI members on June 19, convening a Special General Body meeting on July 3. The purpose - to ratify his decision to refer Modi's replies to three show-cause notices to the Board's disciplinary committee. Mentioning his displeasure over not being informed about the decision, Modi wrote a letter to Srinivasan on Wednesday. "I wish to make it absolutely clear that I do not accept the legality of any of your suggestions, findings or recommendations," Modi wrote. Modi also reiterated his earlier accusation of Srinivasan acting out of malice. "It has also become absolutely clear that you are acting out of malice. Further, it is obvious that if any enquiry is warranted, it should be into your conduct rather than into the meaningless, trumped up allegations levelled in the show cause notice," Modi wrote. And he had a demand too: "Your decision will be recalled - the general body will be duly informed that your so called decision is your private view in the matter, and it is for them to decide the way forward." Wadia backs Modi Ness Wadia may be on the verge of offloading his stake in the Kings XI Punjab team, but he is still backing Lalit Modi. "We miss Lalit Modi. It was different (when Modi was heading the IPL)," Wadia said. "I hope he gets a fair trial. Hopefully things will work out and he will be back soon."
