Rahul Mehra update

Been chatting at length with Rahul Mehra just now; the situation is that his updated PIL will be before the courts by October 26.
Am passing on to him links to the various comments you guys have made (oh, by the way, he was profuse in expressing his thanks to those of you who mailed, offering him your support -- my thanks too, guys; battling the BCCI is a lonely business), besides any information in my possession.
Will keep you updated on progress, as and when. I think till date, the single biggest achievement is that Rahul torpedoed the BCCI's contention that it is a private society, and hence not in the public domain. The Supreme Court ruled with Rahul on this one, contending that the BCCI fulfills a public function and thus is very much a part of the public domain -- in other words, the public has a right to know, and the corresponding right to question.
Tell you what -- after talking to, or rather listening to, Rahul for a good 45 minutes, I tend to think all this heartburn over the SG-GC standoff is small potatoes. All of this, and much else, are mere symptoms of the disease; the actual disease is the board's unprofessionalism, and if you can cure that, then the rest will all fall into place.
More power to the guy -- amazing the amount of time and trouble he spends on this, often at the expense of his real work.
PS: Have to get back to work, today is one of those days when editing stuff keeps me up till 2 am or later, so see you all tomorrow.
