SC decides to make public Mudgal report on IPL

The Supreme Court Friday decided to make public the Mudgal committee report that investigated the allegations of spot fixing and betting in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in respect of sidelined BCCI president N. Srinivasan, his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and two others.

The apex court bench headed by Justice T. S. Thakur said that the report dealing with the conduct and role of Srinivsasan, Meiyappan, BCCI official Sundar Raman and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra will be given to these four people as well as to the BCCI and the petitioner Cricket Association of Bihar.

The court, however, said that the names of the players named in the report will be held back for the time being.

The court said all the parties will file their objections to the report within four days of its receipt and they will have the liberty to file responses to rival objections in another four days and directed the listing of the matter for Nov 24.

The court recorded the statement by BCCI counsel T.A. Sundaram that the meeting of the BCCI annual general body which was scheduled to be held Nov 20, will now take place after four weeks.
