The issue of 'conflict of interest' and wearing of multiple hats by Srinivasan had been often referred to by a bench of Justices TS Thakur and FMI Kalifulla, which has been hearing a petition by Cricket Association of Bihar that had resulted in the apex court setting up an inquiry panel under Justice Mukul Mudgal to probe betting and match-fixing charges in IPL 2013.
Former board president IS Bindra's counsel Rajeev Dhavan said the apex court should give a ruling on 'conflict of interest', which was legalised through the amendment to Rule 6.4.2 in 2008 allowing a cricket administrator to own an IPL franchisee. Earlier, the rules barred BCCI office bearers from having any commercial interest in the events conducted by the board.
Dhavan said the amendments had given cricket administrators "the immunity to do things with impunity" and it must be stopped to prevent the "game from going to the dogs". Srinivasan's counsel Kapil Sibal countered saying Bindra had endorsed the amendment to the rule 6.4.2 in BCCI's AGM.
The bench ordered that the petition filed by CAB challenging the amendment to the rules be tagged with the one that had originally challenged constitution of a committee of two retired judges set up by BCCI last year to probe the IPL betting scam in the wake of arrest of Gurunath Meiyappan (Srinivasan's son-in-law) and a few players. The court will hear arguments on Tuesday.
Earlier, IPL's COO, Sundar Raman, told the court through senior advocate V Giri that he was a mere employee of BCCI and could have done little to stem the rot - which was made public by police and Justice Mudgal Committee.
"I was informed by ICC's anti-corruption services unit head YP Singh that he had heard rumours about many franchisee owners indulging in betting. I had asked him whether the information needed action to be taken. However, Singh had told me that these were only rumours and that there was no evidence to back the information," Sundar Raman said.
He said: "I am a mere paid employee of BCCI. I had just heard rumours. I could not have acted without evidence.
If I had, then I would have put my job in jeopardy. Please discharge me from these proceedings as there is no finding from the Justice Mudgal Committee that I had indulged in betting."
