There seems to be no end to troubles for Indian cricket board president N Srinivasan as the Supreme Court on Monday mooted a new probe into the Indian Premier League spot-fixing scam by an independent three-member committee.
A bench of Justices AK Patnaik and Jagdish S Khehar said it wanted an independent panel that will not only investigate the IPL scandal but also give recommendations to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
It also turned down board’s plea that the proposed panel should find out if further probe is required into all the issues mentioned in the chargesheet filed by the Mumbai Police in the scandal.
The bench said the panel would conduct an independent inquiry into the allegations and submit its report to the Supreme Court.
“Mumbai Police can go on its own. Let the panel make an independent inquiry and give report to the Supreme Court and suggest remedial measures,” it said.
Deliberating on a petition filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB), the court suggested a three-member panel, headed by former Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana high court Mukul Mudgal to probe the IPL scandal.
The court asked the counsel of the CAB, represented by senior lawyer Abhishek Manu Singhvi, and the BCCI to come up with their suggestions and adjourned the case till Tuesday morning.
The other members of the three-member panel are senior advocate Nilay Dutta and Additional Solicitor General L Nageshwar Rao. Interestingly, Rao is also a cricketer.
The apex court had on August 30 heard the petition filed by Aditya Verma, secretary, CAB, challenging the high court’s order refusing to appoint a fresh committee to probe the scam. BCCI panel gave a clean chit to CSK and RR owners who faced charges of betting in the IPL.
