NEW DELHI: A defiant N Srinivasan was Friday forced to drop his desperate bid to reinstate himself as BCCI president after the under-fire Board called off its working committee meeting, fearing legal trouble in the wake of an adverse Bombay high court order.

Srinivasan, who was expected to resume charge as BCCI president at the meeting, will have to wait on the sidelines for a longer period with Jagmohan Dalmiya continuing as the interim chief.

The BCCI decided to appeal in the Supreme Court against the Bombay high court order, which had declared the Board's IPL spot-fixing probe as "illegal and unconstitutional".

Before the working committee meeting was called off, the IPL's governing council decided to reconstitute its ethics commission, where two positions were lying vacant following resignations of Ajay Shirke (treasurer) and Sanjay Jagdale (honorary secretary).
