A compliance certificate must be furnished to the CoA, which shall file a status report before this Court with reference to the compliance undertaken by the State Associations;”

Thereafter, suggestions have been received from Senior Representatives of member clubs. They have been considered and the Constitution of MCA has been corrected incorporating most of those suggestions.
4) The Committee members have noted that Hon’ble Supreme Court has finalised Constitution of BCCI and directed registration of constitution of member associations within a period of 30 days.
