The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) voted unanimously to ratify the charges against suspended Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Lalit Modi at its special general body meeting in Mumbai at the weekend.
The committee will now investigate the allegations against Modi to determine whether civil or criminal charges should be filed against him. It has until October 26 to complete its inquiry.
BCCI president Shashank Manohar said: "The house, after a deliberation and debate in the matter, resolved that the president of the board should be authorised to take all legal actions including civil and criminal for the wrongful loss caused to the board against Mr Modi and any other person. Whether it is a civil or criminal matter, we can only decide after we have probed the legality of the issue."
Modi's lawyer Mehmood Abdi responded to the BCCI's decision to look into civil and criminal charges against his client by calling it a "legal absurdity”.
Modi was suspended earlier this year and charged with financial irregularities relating to the bidding process for IPL franchises, the mid-over ad sales and the sale of theatrical rights. He was also charged with colluding to set up a rebel league in England.
