The Supreme Court on Thursday disallowed Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) chief-in-exile N Srinivasan from contesting elections to the cricket board. In a 130-page verdict on Thursday, the apex court said that Srinivasan as the BCCI chief and owner of an Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise had created a conflict of interest. but SC made strong obsevation against him. There is high probability that he was involved in corruption, but there is nothing to prove that. The Court struck down the amendment (made to Rule 6.2.4 of the BCCI constitution) that allowed BCCI officials to own stakes in IPL franchises which meant that Srinivasan can no longer don both the hats, that of owner of the Chennai Super Kings franchise and also that of the BCCI President. Supreme Court have also ordered BCCI to conduct elections within next six weeks. However, suspicion of cover-up was unfounded against Srinivasan, but SC made strong observation against him. There is high probability that he was involved in corruption, but there is nothing to prove that. Meanwhile, the honourable court brought the hammer down on the Indian Premier League spot-fixing case, ruling Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra guilty of betting on IPL matches.
