Supreme Court Turns Down BCCI's Appeal to Reinstate Srinivasan

The Supreme Court Monday ignored the Indian cricket board's plea to reinstate N. Srinivasan as its president and gave two more months to the Mukul Mudgal Committee to submit the final report in the spot-fixing and betting scandal in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) that involved 13 people, including some prominent cricketers. Senior counsel Kapil Sibal, appealing for Srinivasan, told the court that his client has already stepped down as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president and could not remain in the same situation if the probe goes on and sought an inquiry so that he could be cleared of any act of wrongdoing.
