December 2006 : With the forces against him gathering momentum and power, BCCI expels Dalmiya on charges of embezzling funds from the 1996 World Cup and he is forced to step down as CAB chief.

July 2007: The Calcutta High Court stays the BCCI's expulsion of Dalmiya and says he is free to contest the soon-to-be-held CAB elections. Soon after the decision, Dalmiya files a perjury case against the BCCI before the court.

July 2008: Dalmiya is back at the helm of the CAB, defeating the incumbent Prasun Mukherjee. "Cricket in the state needs me, that's why I'm back," Dalmiya says.

September 2010: BCCI decides to withdraw the civil suit it had filed against Dalmiya relating to embezzlement of funds from the 1996 World Cup, and also the expulsion notice it had imposed on him in 2006.

June 2013: N Srinivasan offers to temporarily step aside as BCCI president to facilitate investigations in the IPL corruption and spot-fixing scandal. The board turns to Dalmiya to run its affairs in the interim.
