IPL Spot-Fixing: BCCI probe panel illegal, rules High Court

  • 5 years ago
Newsx: Rattled by the Bombay High Court order declaring BCCI's two-member probe panel to look into the IPL spot-fixing scandal as "illegal", the Board's top officials were on Tuesday engaged in hectic discussions to chalk out the future course of action.

Hearing a Public Interest Litigation filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar, a division bench of justices S.J Vazifdar and M.S.Sonak declared the two-member BCCI probe panel "unconstitutional".

The High Court order comes just two days after the BCCI panel submitted its report which cleared Board President-in-exile N Srinivasan's franchise Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals owner Raj Kundra of charges of betting.

"We will wait for the judgement to come into our hands before deciding our next step," BCCI's interim chief Jagmohan Dalmiya said.

Moments after the High Court order came out, the BCCI's top officials started consultations on the implications of the development as a crucial IPL Governing Council and the Board's working committee meeting is scheduled here on August 2.

Mr. Srinivasan, who was expected to be back at the helm of affairs after stepping aside for the duration of the BCCI inquiry, did not comment on the order which came as a massive jolt to him.
