N Srinivasan Welcome the Supreme Court verdict not to contesting any BCCI election on grounds of conflict of interest, head of IPL-6
spot-fixing and betting probe committee Justice Mukul Mudgal said that it will
have far reaching ramifications as it will also impact on all sports bodies.
Delivering its long-awaited verdict, the court held that the
allegation of betting against Gurunath Meiyappan, a CSK team official and
son-in-law of the BCCI President-in-exile and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj
Kundra stands proved while the charge of cover up against Srinivasan "is
not proved".
The SC also set up a judges committee under a former Chief Justice
of India to decide on the punishment in the IPL scam that can threaten the
future of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
Justice Mudgal, head of the apex court-appointed three-member
committee, said the SC decision will also apply to all sports bodies.
"The judgment is a major advancement in public law. Being the
SC verdict, it affects all sports bodies in the country. Conflict of interest
arises not only in sports but also in all public bodies," he said
"It advances public law, administration of sports body and
its fairness and also establishes the principle of conflict of interest which
is present in every facet of life and this judgment will have far reaching
consequences and ramifications," Justice Mudgal said.
He said the probe committee led by him had also found the
allegation of betting against Meiyappan and Kundra to be proved.
"Our findings also said the same. The Supreme Court found
that on its own. In that sense it was satisfactory that the SC had accepted our
report," he said.
Former IPL president Lalit modi also welcome the supreme court verdict..
