Supreme Court Eases Restrictions on Anurag Thakur's Return to Cricket Administration
The Supreme Court has lifted restrictions on former BCCI president Anurag Thakur, allowing him to re-engage with the cricket board. This decision modifies a 2017 ruling which barred Thakur from BCCI activities following contempt proceedings. The court acknowledged Thakur's previous apology, leading to the decision.

The Supreme Court has lifted its 2017 restrictions on Anurag Thakur, the former president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), enabling him to resume participating in the board's affairs according to its rules and regulations.
In January 2017, the court had ruled for Thakur to cease involvement with the BCCI, following proceedings related to a false affidavit he filed about the board's autonomy and writing to ICC's then-chairperson Shashank Manohar. The case, centered around contempt and perjury, was dropped in July 2017 after Thakur's unconditional apology.
On Thursday, Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, applying the doctrine of proportionality, modified the initial 2017 order. This decision, based on an application by Thakur seeking modification, was influenced by his earlier apology.
