The Justice Mukul Mudgal-led committee, which was appointed by the Supreme Court to investigate the fixing and betting scandal in the cricket Indian Premier League (IPL), submitted final report in probe against N Srinivasan and others to the apex court on Monday.
Supreme Court will take cognisance of report on November 10, which was submitted in a sealed cover.
A bench headed by Justice T S Thakur said it will consider the report on November 10 when the case will be heard.
Appearing before the bench, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran told the court that the final report has been prepared and is being filed in the apex court.
Meanwhile, Justice Mudgal expressed satisfaction over the the panel's work. He, however, refused to say anything about the content of the report.
"It's up to the Supreme Court whether it finds our work satisfactory. We complied with the order and have done a good job. However, the report has been filed before the court and further it (SC) will decide the course of action," he said while talking to a news channel.
He also said that the panel members were not under pressure while probing the matter.
"We have done our work and now it's up to SC to do justice in the matter," he said.
The report was be submitted almost six months after the apex court had asked Indian Police Service officer BB Mishra and the police departments in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai to assist the investigation.
The Supreme Court had then felt the need to dig deeper for information on the scam after the Mudgal panel's preliminary report had mentioned the names of 13 important cricket officials and players in a sealed envelope, against whom allegations ranging from corruption to conflict of interest had been made.
Mishra, assisted by a team of police investigators in the last few months, has had extensive interactions with top players, including Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, agents of cricketers and Board of Control of Cricket in India functionaries.
They were questioned about IPL Season Six, their corporate partnerships, business interests and power wielded by franchise officials.
Dhoni was specifically asked about Gurunath Meiyappan's role in the IPL team Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
Meiyappan, who is the son-in-law of ICC chairman N Srinivasan, was arrested over allegations of betting on IPL games.
Aided by fresh evidence, the final report is expected to confirm that Meiyappan was an important Chennai Super Kings (CSK) official and that he was involved in betting during 2013 IPL.
The next Supreme Court date of hearing of the case is November 10.
Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI's) annual general meeting is scheduled to be held on November 20.
The outcome of the Mudgal Committee report is expected to have an impact on the voting pattern and on Srinivasan's future as a cricket administrator.
