SC names Srinivasan, Meiyyappan, Kundra and Sundra Raman in Mudgal report

MUMBAI: The Supreme Court of India disclosed the names of ICC chairman N Srinivasan, his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra and former Indian Premier League CEO Sundar Raman among the 13 who were investigated by the court-appointed Mudgal committee to look into the corruption in the Indian Premier League (IPL) scam.

 

The Apex court has also asked that findings of the Mudgal committee report on non-cricketers be disclosed and that a copy of the report be provided to BCCI, Srinivasan and other non-players. Meanwhile BCCI, Srinivasan and other non-players who are named in the report have been asked to file their objections within four days of the receipt. The next hearing will be on 24 November.

 

Some media reports quoted the court saying, "Certain findings recorded by committee are understood to have indicted some individuals whose conduct has been investigated. We have seen the report and it did suggest some misdemeanour on part of certain individuals."

 

Senior advocate Raju Ramachandran, appearing for the Mudgal committee, had submitted that the report does not name any player and they are referred as numbers whose key is kept in a separate report.

 

It is not clear whether Srinivasan who is seeking to contest the BCCI elections once again will be able to contest the same. The Board AGM, which was scheduled on 20 November has once again been deferred by four weeks and it is the first time in the boards history that it has been put off twice said a report.
