The suspended IPL Chairman and Commissioner sent his reply through his lawyer to the BCCI with the message that it is time to drop all charges as they are baseless.

Memmood Abdi, lawyer for Lalit Modi, submitted six cartons of documents in reponse to the first showcause notice issued by the BCCI against his client with regard to financial irregularities and lapses in conducting the IPL. The documents were submitted to Prof, Ratnakar Shetty.
Although the exact number of pages - 9,000 -12,000 - is open to speculation, what is not is that Modi is not guilty of any of the charges, that is what his lawyer claimed as he spoke to the media.
Abdi spoke on behalf of Modi, "We have given all clarification, nothing is left from our side, except that the showcause notice must be dropped immediately. All the allegations have been sufficiently and fully addressed.
"According to me, the suspension should be revoked today and Mr Modi should be reinstated as IPL Commissioner because the BCCI President is a renowned lawyer and has the habit of reading 1,000 pages in a minute. So, I feel he should not take much time in reading our reply.
"There is no scope for BCCI to keep their charges alive now. I am 100 per cent confident that BCCI President will be satisfied to drop all the charges against Mr Modi.
"I feel it has been painful for Mr Modi to hear that he has brought disrepute to the game based on oral allegations. Just few days earlier he was the hero. He was the subject matter of studies in universities and in one moment he was turned into a fall guy."
