		NEW DELHI: Uncertainty about the legality of BCCI elections deepened on Thursday with the Supreme Court raising questions over the controversial rule vesting its chief with two votes which turned out to be the crucial factor in agriculture minister Sharad Pawar's single-vote loss to Jagmohan Dalmiya's nominee Ranbir Singh Mahendra.
		Intrigued by the rule which equips the chief of the cricket body with a general vote and a casting vote, a Bench of Justices N Santosh Hegde and SB Sinha remarked that they would thoroughly examine the BCCI rules to determine whether its chairman could have two votes.
		That might have happened had Jagmohan Dalmiya not cast his general vote followed by a casting vote as chairman of the Board's AGM in favour of Ranbir Singh Mahendra.
