NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed N Srinivasan to take charge as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president and formed a fresh probe panel to investigate IPL 6 spot-fixing scandal.
"Srinivasan can take over as BCCI president, but we have also formed a new probe panel to investigate the case," ruled AK Patnaik, one of the two judges who heard the case. The three-member probe panel will be headed by Mukul Mudgal, former chief justice of Punjab and Haryana high court. The court has asked the panel to submit the inquiry report within four months and directed the board not to influence or interfere in the enquiry.
It is learnt that apex court has asked the BCCI chief to cooperate in the probe and should keep himself away from the probe.
Apart from Mudgal, the other members of the three-member panel are senior advocate Niloy Dutta and additional solicitor general L Nageswara Rao.
Srinivasan, 68, widely regarded as the most powerful man in world cricket, had been barred by the court from taking charge since his election as the BCCI chief for a third year on September 29.
Senior BCCI office-bearers welcome SC order
"We have always respected the observations and orders of the apex court. We had complete faith in the judiciary. The BCCI accepts the court order with utmost humility. We are happy that Mr Srinivasan will be able to perform his presidential duties," said BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel.
"Mr Srinivasan had recused himself from the day to day activities of the BCCI and not for once did the Board break any rules," Patel added.
BCCI joint secretary and Member of Parliament Anurag Thakur also welcomed the decision.
"It's certainly a relief that Mr Srinivasan will be officially taking charge of the BCCI. He has been unanimously elected as the president of the BCCI and the members have a lot of faith in his abilities as an administrator," Thakur said.
Senior BCCI vice-president and veteran Cricket Association of Bengal official Chitrak Mitra said that Srinivasan taking charge meant that there won't be any "constitutional crisis in the board" which looked imminent during the last few days.
"We are extremely happy that Mr Srinivasan is officially back at the helm. There was a possibility of constitutional crisis arising out of a situation where he was not being able to take charge.
"The Honourable Supreme Court's orders will only help BCCI set the house in order. Srinivasan is an able administrator and the functioning of the Board has been smooth under his supervision," Mitra added.
