A Mumbai court on Monday deferred the case, which was filed by BCCI against him for allegedly misappropriating Rs 29 million from the PILCOM funds, to December 19.
Dalmiya thinks the case was not an impediment for him to contest against incumbent CAB president Prasun Mukherjee in the elections scheduled for next month.
"That was a regular course of hearing. The hurdle was never there. If you have any information that the court ruling was any a roadblock (in contesting CAB polls) it's false and fictitious," he insisted.
"The case did not have any merit. He (Dalmiya) is free to contest poll even if he had a case pending, there will be no legal hurdle," a Dalmiya aide said.
He went on to add even Lalu Prasad and L K Advani have many case pending against them..."Don't they contest in polls?" he asked.
Dalmiya was at the helm of CAB for 13 years at a stretch before relinquishing in December 2006.
The incumbent CAB President Prasun Mukherjee, who lost to Dalmiya in a high-voltage election in 2006, was unanimously elected to the top post in the February 2007 election.
Known as a master negotiator, Dalmiya was the first Asian chief of the ICC (1997-2000) before becoming Secretary of the BCCI (1993-1996) and then as President (2001-2005).
Having ousted by the Union minister Sharad Pawar in the January 2006 BCCI polls, Dalmiya was expelled from the Board for alleged misappropriation of funds.
