Seeking permission to contest in the BCCI election, N. Srinivasan has given an undertaking in Supreme Court to keep out of IPL matters if elected as BCCI president till he gets clean chit from high power panel.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday questioned the “rationale” behind N. Srinivasan stepping aside as BCCI president but attending its meetings as Tamil Nadu Cricket Association president.
“You even attend the meeting of the working committee of the BCCI to delay the elections of the BCCI. We understand your passion for the game, but don’t be so passionate,” Justice T.S. Thakur told Mr. Srinivasan’s counsel Kapil Sibal.
“… the whole idea was you keep a distance from the workings of the BCCI,” Justice Thakur observed.
The court sought a dispassionate investigation into the prima facie findings of the Justice Mukul Mudgal committee into the Indian Premier League scam because otherwise, “an entire nation would feel cheated.”
