A Supreme Court-appointed panel on Tuesday suspended the Indian Premier League’s Chennai (CSK) and Rajasthan (RR) franchises for two years, dealing a stunning blow to a showpiece event which introduced glamour and big bucks to the gentleman’s game. The committee also banned Gurunath Meiyappan (CSK) and Raj Kundra (RR) for life from any cricket-related activity.
The 2012 Indian Premier League spot-fixing case was a controversy which arose during the 2012 season and led to the banning of five cricketers. The 2013 Indian Premier League spot fixing and betting case arose when the Delhi Police arrested three cricketers, Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan, on the charges of spot-fixing. The three represented the Rajasthan Royals in the 2013 IPL. In a separate case, Mumbai Police arrested Vindu Dara Singh andGurunath Meiyappan for alleged betting and having links with bookies. Call records of Vindu Dara Singh in connection with the spot-fixing scandal showed that he was in frequent contact with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team principal and BCCI president N. Sreenivasan's son in law Gurunath Meiyappan.
On 5 June 2013, Rajastan Royals team co-owner Raj Kundra was questioned by the Delhi Police for alleged involvement in illegal betting. On 6 June 2013, Delhi Police claimed that he had confessed to them of placing bets on his IPL team through a bookie who was his friend. He was suspended from the IPL by the BCCI on June 10, 2013. In October 2013, the Supreme Court of India appointed a three-member committee headed by Justice (Retd.) Mukul Mudgal to probe allegations of betting and spot fixing. The committee submitted its report to the Supreme Court in February 2014.
On 25 March 2014, the Supreme Court of India told N Srinivasan to step down from his position on his own as BCCI president in order to ensure a fair investigation into the betting and spot-fixing charges levied against his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan who was team principal of Chennai Super Kings. The Supreme court said its nauseating that N. Srinivasan continued as BCCI chief.
On January 22, 2015, the Supreme Court came down hard on the BCCI and its President-in exile, N Srinivasan in its 130-page verdict. The top court ruled the following: 1. BCCI will have to hold fresh elections within six weeks. Srinivasan cannot contest in these elections because of conflict-of-interest. There is need to establish institutions integrity within the BCCI; 2. No BCCI administrator can have commercial interests. Argument that Srinivasan held miniscule share in India Cements misleading since his family directly or indirectly holds much more.
