The Supreme Court observed that the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Chennai Super Kings (CSK) should be disqualified without any enquiry or probe according to reports emerging on Thursday. The SC stated that there were too many ambiguities surrounding the entire IPL spot-fixing case, which should hold enough grounds for the disqualification of the franchise.
The Supreme Court also raised questions on the N Srinivasan‘s conflict of interest, due to him being the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) as well being the chairman of India Cements, the owner of CSK.
“We want to unravel the truth surrounding the owner of India cements,” said the apex court in a statement, seeking details of N Srinivasan’s family holdings in the company. The court also sought a response from N Srinivasan and gave the BCCI to initiate action against Srinivasan, according to reports by Bloomberg TV.
The Mudgal committee investigating spot-fixing allegations in the Indian Premier League cricket tournament submitted its final report to the Supreme Court on on November 3. The court revealed that Srinivasan was one of the names on the list and ordered the panel to investigate him and the 12 other unidentified persons.
The panel’s preliminary report had concluded that Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan — who was the team principal of the Chennai Super Kings franchise — could be guilty of illegal betting on IPL games.The Super Kings are owned by India Cements, whose managing director is Srinivasan. The team is captained by India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
