New Delhi: The final Report of spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League cricket tournament by Mudgal committee had been submitted to Supreme Court on Monday.
Supreme Court will deliberate on the findings on November 10 which could determine if world cricket chief Narayanaswami Srinivasan can seek re-election as president of the Indian board.
Lawyer of the panel, Raju Ramachandran said, “We have submitted the report in a sealed envelope to the court.”
The panel is headed by former judge Mukul Mudgal and includes ex-India captain Sourav Ganguly. It had presented a sealed envelope to the court containing names of 13 individuals in February who needed to be probed further.
The court revealed that Srinivasan was one of the names on the list and ordered the panel to investigate him and the 12 other unidentified persons.
The preliminary report of panel had concluded that Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan — who was the team principal of the Chennai Super Kings franchise — could be guilty of illegal betting on IPL games.
Srinivasan is the Managing Director of India Cements who owns Chennai Super Kings. The team is captained by India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
