New Delhi, Oct 6 (IBNS) : Acting tough with the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), the Supreme Court on Thursday asked the cricketing body to give an undertaking by Friday that it will implement the reforms recommendations of the RM Lodha committee.

"Stop wasting time. Give an undertaking that you will abide by the recommendations or we will pass an order," Chief Justice of India TS Thakur said," NDTV reports.

The court will go  for the Puja vacation this weekend and reopens on October 17.

The Supreme Court has also said the BCCI not to disburse funds to its affiliated units not willing to implement the committee's reforms.

"Don't disburse money to associations who are reluctant to be reformed. Why are you discussing money in a hurry?" the court asked.

The BCCI has transferred close to Rs.400 crore as infrastructural grants to its state units till September-end.

The apex court took the tough stand after the BCCI continued to drag its heels on the implementation of the Lodha committee recommendations which were made obligatory on July 18.
