"We are happy to hear that ICC has removed Bucknor from the third Test. It is a victory for us," said BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla.
"We have a Working Committee meeting in the evening where we will decide on the future course of action," Shukla said.
BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, meanwhile, asserted that India would do everything to fight the racism slur on Harbhajan.
"We are watching the Harbhajan issue more closely. It is more important that the umpiring issue because he has been accused of racism and we will never tolerate any such thing," Shah said.
"We have already made an appeal against his ban and we are waiting for the process to start," he said.
Shah said BCCI had told ICC to look into the umpiring blunders in the match that cost India the second Test.
"We have told them to look at the decisions he has given which cost the match. Our team lost the match due to Bucknor and it is good for the team that he was changed," he said.
BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty also made it clear that the Board was not happy with the way Match Referee Mike Procter went by the Australian players and banned Harbhajan.
"For us, Harbhajan's case is more important at this point of time. The manner in which the hearing was conducted, that itself has been challenged. We are asking ICC to withdraw the charge against him," Shetty said.

Harbajan Singh is terrorist as represents Khalistan movement.
Harbhajan is innocent as there is no proof so it is same Afzal Guru is innocent as the prosecution failed to provide substantial proof of his involvment.
Hey man! First the decisions by the umpires are all wrong atleast 9-10 decisions were wrong which costed us the match, the decision of RP singh, Dravid, Ganguly were all bloody rubbish. Without which india could have drawn this mathc with ease. Secondly umpires favoured OZ cos they were on their 16th consective win which india were likely to break. Now guys u tell me whether this mathc was biased or not? Kumble said the right thing "only one team played with the right spirit" WHICH IS INDIA. MERA BHARAT MAHAN
So for records, Ozzie won the second test, Benson is OK. Bucknor will still be paid by ICC for good work.India should know it's position by now.
SUPPORT HARBHAJAN AS HE IS INNOCENT -- IT IS MADE UP ALLEGATIONS WITH NO PROOF AND EVIDENCE.DO NOT COMPROMISE ON UR DIGNITY. THE AUSSIES WANT THE CRUSH THE FREE SPIRIT OF HARBAHJAN DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN.
Can't even read the content because of the advertisements. Where is the IE webeditor? Would you please take note?
I know for sure that Harbhajan has not uttered the word monkey. I am really surprised that Match Referee Mike Procter has imposed ban on Harbhajn on the ground that he has uttered the word monkey at Symond (after hearing the version of Australian Team.) For a moment think Harbhajan has uttered the word MONKEY . How it will amounts to racism ? One must know all human beings are descendants of Monkey Clan only. Hence it never amounts to racism. In our day to day life also sometimes we call our relatives ,friends and collegues as monkey but it never mean racism.
