New Delhi, Sept 30:
The Supreme Court made it clear today that N Srinivasan, reelected as BCCI President, will not participate in matters relating to IPL and the spot fixing issue, observing there is “something seriously wrong” with the apex cricket body which has lost its credibility.
“He will continue (as BCCI President) but will not participate in the IPL issue,” the apex court said, noting that “the fairness of the probe should not be affected”.
The court asked Srinivasan not to be in a “hurry” and allow the Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) to mull over his suggestion that a committee under the chairmanship of either Arun Jaitley or Vinay Dutta, both of whom are lawyers, be constituted to probe the IPL spot fixing scandal, also involving his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan.
“Don’t be in hurry. Give them (CAB) the proposal and let them consider your suggestion,” a bench of justices A K Patnaik and J S Kehar said, adding that the court will have to see the “effect” of his presidentship on the free and fair probe into IPL spot-fixing case.(PTI)
