The Supreme court has asked BCCI President N. Srinivasan to step down from his post to ensure a free and fair probe of the Indian Premier League Fixing and betting scandal. The Court warned Srinivasan that if he fails to step down, then it will pass an order.

The apex court made the scathing observation while taking up the Justice Mukul Mudgal led Committee report on corruption charges against Chennai Super Kings, its Team Principal Gurunath Meiyappan who is also Srinivasan son-in-law and Rajasthan Royals team owner.

The apex court said that Probe panel report in sealed envelope contains very serious allegations and unless BCCI President steps down, no fair probe can be conducted. It has adjourned the hearing of the case to March 27.
