IPL scam: SC, BCCI want retired judges to look into the matter

New Delhi, Dec 9 (IBNS): After the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to take action against its president in exile N Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan in connection with the Indian Premier League scam, the cricket board came up with five suggestions on the same.

It was finally decided that the court would appoint a two-member committee of retired judges for looking into the matter and thereby come up with the solution, reports said.

The apex court earlier in the day provided Srinivasan with four options if he along with the BCCI did not want the court to issue adverse orders.

Srinivasan was asked to withdraw from BCCI.

The apex court also said a new committee should be formed to take action against those named by the Mudgal panel.

It also said that the BCCI governing council should take action.

Mudgal panel was also asked to take action.

This comes after Srinivasan was accused of taking no action against Meiyappan.

The court has clearly stated that it wants Meiyappan to be punished.

The Supreme Court gave some time to the BCCI to come up with solutions on Tuesday itself and should also propose action against Chennai Super Kings and and Meiyappan.

Replying to BCCI later in the afternoon, Srinivasan's lawyers suggested five options in connection with the matter.

The first suggestion said the matter should be handed to BCCI Behaviour Committee (the committee exists and includes Ravi Shastri, Arindam Ganguly, Amitabh Choudhary, Sanjay Patel and one more official).

In a second suggestion, the lawyer said the matter should be refereed to BCCI-appointed independent committee.

Thirdly, the Supreme Court should nominate a committee of BCCI officials.

The fourth one included an appointment of a two-member committee of retired judges by the SC to deal with the matter.

The lawyers also suggested that Justice Mudgal panel should look into the matter

Meanwhile, the annual general meeting of the BCCI is scheduled on Dec 17 where Srinivasan, who is already the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), is seeking another term.

Srinivasan was seeking a clean chit from the Supreme Court to contest the BCCI elections and win another term as president.

Suspended BCCI President petitioned that he may be restored to his position as BCCI chief and be allowed to function.

The Mudgal Committee, which submitted its report on Nov 17, had indicted Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals franchise co-owner Raj Kundra of betting and confirmed their role in their teams but cleared Srinivasan of match fixing and scuttling the probe.

The probe report has charged Srinivasan with "covering up" Meiyappan's role.
