SC reserves order on constituting panel to probe Srini, others
April 29, 2014  13:36
The Supreme Court today reserved its order on constituting a probe panel to investigate allegations against N Srinivasan and 12 cricketers in the IPL betting and spot-fixing scandal. 

A bench headed by Justice A K Patnaik, which had suggested that the probe be conducted by the Justice Mudgal Committee, reserved the order after BCCI and Srinivasan opposed further investigation by the committee and pleaded for setting up a fresh panel. 

The bench said it cannot come to any findings regarding the allegations levelled by the Mudgal committee report against Srinivasan and 12 others until a duly constituted probe committee looks into the allegations. 

The court said that it had suggested further probe by the Mudgal Committee itself to maintain confidentiality of the allegations. It said that the allegations would be known to other people if a fresh panel comprising new members is allowed to conduct the probe.
