The Supreme Court today observed that IPL team Chennai Super Kings, CSK, owned by BCCI President in exile N Srinivasan should be terminated without further enquiry as one of its officials Gurunath Meiyappan has been indicted for betting by an inquiry committee.

Meiyappan is the son-in-law of Srinivasan who is himself facing questions on conflict of interest. The court asked Srinivasan to give details about who controls Chennai Super Kings owned by India Cements. Srinivasan is the Managing Director of India Cements.

In further setback for Srinivasan, the Supreme Court proposed fresh elections in the BCCI. The apex court, which was hearing the Justice Mudgal Committee report into IPL betting and spot-fixing scandal, said election can be held but persons named in the report will not contest and new board will take decision on the scam. Srinivasan is seeking a clean chit from the Supreme Court to contest the BCCI elections and win another term as president. The court said BCCI must put an end to all the controversies.

BCCI submitted that an external commission be set up to hand out punishment to persons found guilty in the Mudgal committee report. The Supreme Court had on Monday pulled up Srinivasan for having conflict of interest as head of BCCI and as owner of an IPL team. The BCCI had petitioned that Srinivasan may be restored to his position as the cricketing body's chief.
