IPL betting scam: Mudgal Committee submits its final report to SC

New Delhi: The Supreme Court appointed probe commission headed by (Retd) Justice Mukul Mudgal on Monday submitted its final report to the apex court on the IPL-6 betting and spot-fixing scandal. The report was submitted in a sealed envelope and the next hearing in the case will be on 10 November. “We will be submitting the final report to the Supreme Court on November 3. Beyond this, I won’t be able to divulge any other information,” Justice Mudgal had told reporters last week.

However Justice Mudgal did not confirm or deny about the committee’s last meeting. The Supreme Court’s next date of hearing is November 10 and the entire BCCI is eagerly waiting the verdict of the apex court.
