The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has expressed its reservations over Justice Mukul Mudgal’s commission being tasked with following up their investigations into allegations of betting and spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), according to ESPNcricinfo.
At a hearing on Tuesday, the BCCI termed the Mudgal committee’s report ‘erroneous’ and asked the Supreme Court to form a new panel. The board counsel also requested the reinstatement of N Srinivasan as BCCI president while the probe was being conducted, to which Justice Patnaik said, “[Srinivasan] could not come back as BCCI president as long as the probe is on.”
While the court reserved its judgement about the Mudgal panel to investigate the allegations against 13 ‘very important personalities’ in cricket, it is expected to issue an interim order regarding the composition of the second IPL corruption probe panel within a few days.
The next hearing of the case will be in September, after the court-appointed panel has completed its investigation.
Meanwhile, the Mudgal panel’s counsel Gopal Subramaniam handed over a note that threw light on the assistance the probe would require, stating that it would complete its investigations within four months.
The panel also said, “As this committee was appointed with the consent of the BCCI and the Cricket Association of Bihar, in the earlier order, the committee requests that a similar consent may be obtained again
