The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to grant interim stay on Bombay High Court verdict declaring as illegal and unconstitutional the BCCI’s two-member probe panel set up to look into spot-fixing and betting charges in the IPl tournament.
A bench of justices A K Patnaik and J S Khehar, however, agreed to hear Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) petition challenging the high court’s judgement and issued notice on its plea.
The bench asked Cricket Association of Bihar, on whose plea the high court had delivered its verdict, to file its response on BCCI’s petition within two weeks and posted the matter for hearing on August 29.
