SC seeks Mudgal panel's inclination to probe IPl scam

The Supreme Court Tuesday asked the Justice Mukul Mudgal committee whether it was inclined to investigate the allegations of betting and spot fixing during IPl-6. An apex court bench headed by Justice A.K. Patnaik asked senior counsel Gopal Subramaniam to check with Justice Mudgal if he was inclined to probe the allegations.

The court said if Justice Mudgal committee decides to undertake the task, it would be provided the assistance of able investigators. The court asked Subramaniam, who appeared for Justice Mudgal panel, to revert with the panel's response at 2 p.m. Tuesday, when it resumes its proceedings after the lunch break.
