— Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) August 6, 2015The unrecognised Cricket Association of Bihar on Monday had filed an application with a plea to Supreme Court to hand over the sealed cover and reports submitted by the Justice Mudgal Committee in the apex court to the Justice Lodha Committee.
Petitioner in the IPL spot-fixing case, association secretary Aditya Verma has appealed to the apex court to send the first report and the full text of the third Report of Justice Mudgal Committee to the Justice Lodha Committee.
In the sealed cover, the Justice Mudgal Committee referred to the allegations against 13 persons. But the Committee made it clear that they were only allegations and were not established and, therefore, the report was being submitted in sealed cover so as not to sully the reputation of any innocent person.
According to the Justice Mudgal Committee, these allegations in the report submitted in sealed cover require verification and investigation.
Thereafter, one part of the third report containing details of investigation about the 13 persons including Srinivasan was also made available to SC.
