Former Board of Control for Cricket in India president Jagmohan Dalmiya sent a 29-page reply to the show cause notice issued to him by the Board for alleged misappropriation of the 1996 World Cup funds.
"He sent a 29-page reply, along with around 500 page of annexures," sources close to Dalmiya informed, while refusing to divulge the contents.
"The matter is sub-judice and we cannot give you any more details about the contents," the sources added.
The Board had on April 15 asking Dalmiya to explain the 'abnormally high' expenses under several heads in connection with the 1996 World Cup.
Though the Board had asked him to furnish his reply within 21 days, the senior cricket administrator moved court and got respite when the Calcutta high court extended the time for submitting his reply.
The curt had directed Dalmiya to submit his reply by October 3. It also asked him to appear before the BCCI's disciplinary committee by October 10, if the Board so desires.
Dalmiya had claimed that several copies of documents supplied to him by the BCCI were illegible, and moved a revision application before the high court against a city court order that rejected his application seeking fresh copies of documents and extension of time to reply to the present BCCI management over the allegations.
The Board has already suspended Dalmiya, pending inquiry by the disciplinary committee into the allegations of financial irregularities.
Dalmiya was the convener of PILCOM (Pakistan-India-Lanka Committee), which was created to organise the 1996 World Cup in the subcontinent.
The enquiries into the PILCOM accounts started after Dalmiya's group lost control of the BCCI to the Sharad Pawar-led group in a bitterly fought election in November last year after ruling over it for more than a decade.
