In a major sign of relief to Board of control for cricket in India (BCCI) President N Srinivasan as the Supreme Court Tuesday allowed him to take charge of his post, which was stayed due to upcoming apex court's final judgment.
Pronouncing its order, the apex court said Srinivasan was elected 'democratically', and added that there were no charges of corruption against him.
The apex court had yesterday proposed the constitution of a new three-member panel to probe allegations made in connection with a spot-fixing scandal that took place during the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Srinivasan was elected unopposed as president of the BCCI for a third term in the cricket board's AGM on September 29.
The Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB) had moved the Supreme Court on September 23, seeking to restrain N. Srinivasan from getting re-elected to the top-post because of his connection to Gurunath Meiyappan, his son-in-law, who is presently facing corruption charges in connection with the sixth edition of the IPL.
