PANJIM: The High Court of Bombay at Goa reserved its order in the petition filed by former Goa Cricket Association (GCA) President Dayanand Narvekar seeking that the FIR filed in the infamous scam of Goa’s cricketing body be quashed.
Counsel representing Narvekar argued that a FIR has already been registered at the EOC (Economic Offence Cell) of Goa Police for siphoning Rs 2.80 crore of GCA and the present FIR, which mentions the misappropriation of Rs 1 crore, is a part of earlier FIR.
The counsel also submitted that the transaction is reflected in the chargesheet filed by EOC in the court and urged the court to quash the FIR in which Narvekar is one of the accused along with three others.
He also submitted that the then GCA President was not involved in the scam and was not aware about the transactions between GCA and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). He has also submitted that Narvekar has not signed any of the bank account opening documents in the name of GCA from which money was siphoned.
