BCCI explains their stand: Full text of the board's press release:

At its meeting in Delhi earlier today, the IPL Governing Council (Mr. N. Srinivasan having recused himself) considered at length, the issues arising from the Bombay High Court's order regarding the constitution of the probe commission, which was formed to investigate the complaints made by the BCCI against India Cements Limited, Jaipur IPL Cricket Private Limited, Mr. Gurunath Meiyappan and Mr Raj Kundra. 

As a matter of principle, the members confirmed that it was important that the Governing Council's actions be and be seen to be both legally and ethically correct.

The Governing Council believes that the probe commission was properly constituted in accordance with the IPL Operational Rules, and has consequently decided that an appeal should be filed in the Honourable Supreme Court. 

This decision having been made, Mr. N. Srinivasan rejoined the meeting and, in the light of the pending appeal to the Supreme Court, requested Mr. Jagmohan Dalmiya to continue discharging his functions at the BCCI for the present.

The BCCI Working Committee meeting that was to follow the IPL Governing council meeting has been called off. Reason for adjournment not known

The Indian Premier League governing council met this morning to discuss whether to constitute a fresh inquiry panel to look into allegations of betting and spot fixing after the Bombay High Court ruled that a two-member panel that investigated the scandal was "illegal and unconstitutional." The working committee of the Indian cricket board will meet later today and a defiant N Srinivasan is expected to attend.

The BCCI panel had given a clean chit to Mr Srinivasan's son-in-law, Gurunath Meiyappan. Mr Srinivasan's firm, India Cements, owns the Chennai Super Kings.

But the BCCI board is split wide open over Mr Srinivasan's status post the high court's ruling.
