Supreme Court were cleared for N Srinivasan to contest the
ICC Presidential elections on June 27 with the Supreme Court on Thursday. A
bench of justices J S Kehar and C Nagappan said that the earlier apex court
order was “clear” and it will not hear the plea of CAB on this issue.
“The person, who has been restrained from functioning as the
BCCI President till the conclusion of probe, cannot be allowed to take contest
for the post of President of the ICC,” the counsel for CAB said.
The apex court, on May 16, had ordered a probe by the
Justice Mukul Mudgal committee against the beleaguered BCCI head and 12
prominent players in IPL betting and spot-fixing scandal.
The court, which had asked the panel to file a report in a
sealed envelope before it by the end of August, had also asked Srinivasan not
to act as BCCI President during the probe.
