Realising that the entire controversy over the RCA polls was turning out to be a battle between Srinivasan and Modi, the bench decided to adjourn the hearing and said, "we will see this matter on March 4".
BCCI's counsel C A Sundaram and senior advocate Haren Raval, appearing for Sharma submitted that Modi, who has been banned for life by cricket board could not have contested the RCA polls and further he has fled to London and is accused of swindling 80 million dollars.
This submission was opposed by Modi's counsel Harish Salve, who alleged that Srinivasan is at the helm of affairs in the BCCI despite his son-in-law facing criminal case in connection with the IPL spot fixing.
The bench wanted to proceed with the opening of the sealed envelope on the ground that if Modi loses the election nothing will survive in the matter.
However, Modi's rivals said they are aware of the outcome of the results that he is going to be a clear winner and if he is allowed to take charge as president of the RCA it will have a far-reaching consequences.
