D-day for CSK, RR as Lodha Committee to give IPL betting verdict on Tuesday July 14,2015

Following months of investigations, various arguments and counter arguments, the fate of IPL teams Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals will be known on Tuesday July 14,2015 when the Supreme Court-appointed high-level committee headed by former Chief Justice of India RM Lodha will pronounce the quantum of punishment against the two franchisees and their team officials Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra for betting during season six of the Indian Premier League.

In a press release, the committee said: "The verdict of the Justice Lodha Committee is to be rendered on Tuesday 14th July at Silver Oak-II in the India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road. This will be at 1:00 pm."

Note

The Supreme Court of India on January 22,2015, had held that the allegation of betting against Meiyappan, son-in-law of former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N Srinivasan, and Kundra stands proved while the charge of cover up against Srinivasan was "not proved".

The SCI  then set up the three-member committee of retired judges including Justices Ashok Bhan and RV Raveendran to determine the punishment for Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Kundra.
