2.BCCI probe panel illegal, rules court: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday held illegal the formation of a two-member panel by the Board of Control for Cricket in India to inquire into allegations of spot-fixing and betting. The order is a severe blow to BCCI president N. Srinivasan as the panel on July 28 gave a “clean chit” to him, his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was the team principal of Chennai Super Kings and Raj Kundra, co-owner of Rajasthan Royals. A Division Bench of Justices S.J. Vazifdar and M.S. Sonak was hearing a public interest litigation petition filed by the Bihar Cricket Association, which challenged the constitution of the commission by the BCCI and the IPL governing council, especially as it was formed when Mr. Srinivasan was still active president of the BCCI, The court said the issue raised in the PIL “is maintainable and the constitution of the probe panel is illegal,” BCA counsel Ameet Naik told The Hindu .
