New Delhi: A Supreme Court-appointed committee, headed by former Chief Justice of India R.M. Lodha, will on Tuesday pronounce the quantum of punishment against Indian Premier League (IPL) teams Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals and their respective team officials, Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra, for betting during IPL 8 season.

The panel will also decide the fate of the two IPL franchisees. The apex court had on 22 January held that the allegation of betting against Meiyappan and Kundra stands proved and set up a three-member committee of its retired judges, including Justices Ashok Bhan and R.V. Raveendran to determine the punishment for Meiyappan, who was the CSK team Principal and Kundra, co-owner of RR.

Sources in the committee said the three former judges, who were asked to complete the task within six months, have also examined the amendments to the memorandum of association and rules and regulations considered necessary to provide a mechanism for resolving conflict of interest.

The apex court bench headed by Justice T.S. Thakur had said it was appointing an independent committee of judges keeping in view the “the trajectory of the present litigation and the important issues it has raised." Further, the bench had said “the profile of the individuals who have been indicted, would, in our opinion, demand that the award of punishment for misconduct is left to an independent committee to exercise that power for and on the behalf of BCCI".

The apex court held that the allegation of betting against Meiyappan, son-in-law of former BCCI [resident N. Srinivasan, and Kundra stands proved while the charge of cover-up against Srinivasan was “not proved". Under IPL rules, the franchise of a team can be cancelled if a team official indulges in any act that brings the game to disrepute.
