The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) polling process was completed on Monday but the sealed ballot boxes have been kept in the government treasury until a further directive by the high court.

Former RCA president Lalit Modi's son Ruchir is fighting against senior Congress leader CP Joshi, whois also an ex-president.

The 33 district cricket associations, who have voting right in accord with the Sports Act prevailing in the state, voted for the six posts as per the Lodha Committee recommendations.

While both the Joshi and Modi factions are claiming victory, the court order dampened the spirits of supporters and the ballot boxes were sealed until the court orders the result to be declared.

Earlier, ombudsman appointed for the elections, Justice Gyan Sudha Mishra, requested the high court to keep the ballot boxes in its custody.

The court however refused to do so and asked the ombudsman herself to look after the security of boxes. It was later learnt that the boxes were taken to the government treasury.

Meanwhile, it was reported that both the groups may move court against the decision to keep the boxes in the government treasury.
