The Supreme Court-appointed panel under Justice RM Lodha had issued show cause notices to Meiyappan and Raj Kundra (Rajasthan Royals) seeking their reply on the quantum of punishment for betting during IPL matches in 2013.
India Cements, the owners of CSK, had also been issued a similar notice. The Panel will hear Raj Kundra and Rajasthan Royals' case on on March 12 (Thursday).
The Supreme Court appointed the powerful Lodha Commission on January 22 this year, the day it delivered its verdict on the IPL scam after almost 18 months of hearing.
