Supreme Court verdict will impact all sports bodies: Mudgal

Delivering its long-awaited verdict, the court today held that the allegation of betting against Gurunath Meiyappan, a CSK team official and son-in-law of the BCCI President-in-exile and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra stands proved while the charge of cover up against Srinivasan "is not proved".

The SC also set up a judges committee under a former Chief Justice of India to decide on the punishment in the IPL scam that can threaten the future of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.

Justice Mudgal, head of the apex court-appointed three-member committee, said the SC decision will also apply to all sports bodies.

"The judgment is a major advancement in public law. Being the SC verdict, it affects all sports bodies in the country. Conflict of interest arises not only in sports but also in all public bodies," he said
