In a severe blow to BCCI
and its president-in-exile N Srinivasan, the Bombay high court on
Tuesday held as "illegal and unconstitutional" the two-member probe
panel set up by it to look into spot-fixing and betting charges in the IPL tournament.
The high court order comes just two days after the probe panel submitted its report on July 28 giving a clean chit to Srinivasan, his son-in-law and owner of CSK Team Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra, owner of Rajasthan Royals and husband of actress Shilpa Shetty

A Division Bench of Justices S.J. Vazifdar and M.S. Sonak was hearing a
public interest litigation filed by the Cricket Association of Bihar and
its secretary Aditya Verma challenging the constitution of the
two-member commission, set up by the BCCI and IPL Governing Council to
probe allegations of betting and spot-fixing.
The Bench, while allowing the PIL, said the constitution of the probe panel was “illegal and unconstitutional”.
The report submitted by the two-member probe panel, comprised of fromer
judges Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian, had given clean chit to
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team principal Gurunath Meiyappan and
Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra, among others, was also thus
rejected by the Bombay HC
