Supreme Court today issued notices to the BCCI, N Srinivasan, his IPL team Chennai Super Kings, and Rajasthan Royals on a plea challenging Bombay High court order refusing to appoint a fresh committee to probe IPL spot fixing scam.A bench headed by Justice A K Patnaik agreed to hear the appeal filed by Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) against the High Court verdict and clubbed it with the petition of BCCI which had challenged the judgement declaring it as illegal. Indian cricket board's two-member probe panel was set up to look into spot-fixing and betting charges in the IPL tournament.The CAB pleaded that the High Court which declared the panel of two judges unconstitutional should have appointed a fresh panel to look into the issue. The apex court had earlier on August 7 refused to grant interim stay on High Court verdict, derailing the plan ofSrinivasan to return as chief of BCCI.He had stepped aside from discharging his duties as BCCI President in the light of spot fixing and betting scandal which allegedly involved his son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings team's former principal Gurunath Meiyappan.
