Supreme Court : IPL saga

The top court said on Friday that Mr Gavaskar would be appointed the "interim working president"

of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and that he would also :

be in charge for the new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), which begins on 16 April.

The Supreme Court has turned down N Srinivasan's reinstatement request, and has revealed that he is one of the 13 named in the sealed envelope submitted to it by the Justice Mudgal committee.

In response to the BCCI counsel CA Sundaram's argument that the court was responding only to prima facie evidence and not secondary evidence, Justice AK Patnaik for the first time revealed details about the sealed envelope.

He said that there were 13 names in the sealed envelope, Srinivasan's name was the 13th,

and he had 12 allegations against him, with annexures to each of them.

"It seems that Mr Srinivasan has not taken the allegations seriously," he said.

The court will also appoint an amicus curae :

a lawyer who is not part of the case, to report to them about the existence or otherwise of

transcripts and recordings of the depositions to the Mudgal committee.

So far it is understood, that the court has been provided with minutes of the 52 interviews

conducted by the panel in the course of its investigation.

Haha, you go Judge! Faith in humanity restored. At least temporarily. Hope that dick rots in jail, I have no sympathy for the git.
