New Delhi: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a plea of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy challenging Justice Lodha Committee's order suspending the IPL franchisee, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), for two years over the 2013 betting scam involving its top official Gurunath Meiyappan.
A bench comprising Chief Justice TS Thakur and Justice UU Lalit said that it will fix a date for hearing the plea of Mr Swamy in which he has also sought a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the petition filed before the apex court by Cricket Association of Bihar (CAB).
"A fraud has been committed on this court as the entire litigation initiated by CAB was funded by Lalit Modi," Mr Swamy said, claiming that he agrees with almost 99 per cent of the finding of Justice Lodha panel except the banning of CSK.
The high court on January 20 had dismissed Mr Swamy's Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the suspension of CSK and Rajasthan Royals, saying it was not maintainable.
Mr Meiyappan, son-in-law of the then BCCI chief N Srinivasan and a former Team Principal of CSK, and Mr Kundra, co-owner of Jaipur IPL that runs Rajasthan Royals (RR), were suspended for life from any match conducted by BCCI.
The Madras High Court had also dismissed a similar petition by the owner of CSK challenging Justice Lodha panel's order.
