New Delhi, Feb. 20: Indian Premier League chairman Lalit Modi, under attack from all quarters, finally got some good news as the Supreme Court on Friday announced its decision to reschedule the elections for the faction-ridden Rajasthan Cricket Association from February 23 to March 1. It paved the way for the group led by president Lalit Modi to file their nominations.

Things worked out for the Modi faction as the order said elections to the 21-member executive committee would be held under the unamended constitution in terms of the apex court order of February 11, 2005.

The court did not alter with the process already undertaken for holding the elections by RCA secretary Subhash Joshi. The Supreme Court said former SC judge N.M. Kasliwal would be the observer/chairman for conducting the election. "We are of the view that the elections could be held on March 1, 2009 as per the steps already taken by the RCA," a bench comprising Chief Justice K.G. Balakrishnan and Justice P. Sathasivam said.
