Mumbai: ICC Chairman N Srinivasan – who was under the Mukul Mudgal committee radar for the entire spot-fixing fiasco in Indian Premier League which broke out in 2013 – on Friday told the Supreme Court to reinstate him as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president as the probe panel found nothing against him.

“The Mudgal panel cleared me of betting, fixing charges,” he said.

Earlier, the BCCI filed an affidavit to contest the panel’s discovery that the tainted president in-exile and four other board officials were aware of a player’s code of conduct violation but did not take action.

The board reportedly disapproved the Mudgal committee’s finding.

The apex cricket body, in the affidavit, said that a working committee meeting was held on November 18 to examine the report and it was found out that the incident about “individual 3” (player) violating Code of Conduct, was in an overseas tour where Ranjit Biswal was the team manager.

However, the statement further added that Biswal, in the meeting, had reported the incident to the then BCCI president Shashank Manohar. But the board declared that the nature of the infringement was minor and the player was orally reprimanded.

Simultaneously, India Cements, the company of which he is the Managing Director, has also pleaded with the court not to pass any adverse order against the firm that could lead to cancellation of the franchise of Chennai Super Kings.

Srinivasan, who filed his objections to the final report of the committee in an affidavit, said that he believed that the conclusion in the report clearly vindicates his stand all allegations made against him were "completely false, baseless and motivated out of malice".

In a separate affidavit, India Cements, which owns Chennai Super Kings (CSK), contended that Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who has been indicted in the report, is no way associated with the company. It pleaded that any adverse order against India Cements could have had "disastrous consequences" not only for the CSK but for the entire league, cricketers and those associated with the IPL.

"Under no stretch of imagination can Meiyappan be characterised as a person who is the ultimate controller of this company," India Cements said, adding "there is no infractions of the IPL code of conduct, rules and regulations that have been pointed out by the probe committee against the company or its employees in the present report," it said.

While urging that no adverse decision be taken against the CSK, the promoter of the team said, "Now, that the report has been filed and no adverse findings have been made as against this respondent or its employees, it is just and proper that the employees of this respondent be permitted to discharge their duties if any assigned to them by the BCCI."

Meanwhile, on the affidavits filed by BCCI and Biswal, the office of senior advocate Nalini Chidambaram, who is representing CAB and its Secretary Aditya Verma, said that the response to their objections would be filed on Monday when the matter will be heard by the court.
