N Srinivasan was not involved in match fixing activity and he was not found to be involved in scuttling probe into match fixing scam, the Justice Mugdal commitee panal report has said.

The panel told Supreme court, "Raj Kundra was in touch with bookies and was placing bets on matches. No material is available to show that Gurunath Meiyappan is involved in match fixing."

The panel further said, "Cricket administrator Sundaraman knew a contact of a bookie and had contacted him eight times in one season. The findings about the betting activities of Meiyappan and that he was a team official stand confirmed."

Earlier, on November 14, the Supreme Court had disclosed the names of cricketers Stuart Binny, ICC Chairman N Srinivasan, Gurunath Meiyappan, Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra, IPL CEO Sundar Raman, former England cricketer Owais Shah, among others who were investigated by the inquiry panel.

The court had also asked BCCI, N. Srinivasan and other non-players who are named in the report to file their objections within four days of the receipt.

The court had said that we have seen the report and it did suggest some misdemeanour on part of certain individuals. Certain findings recorded by committee are understood to have indicted some individuals whose conduct has been investigated.

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), had submitted final report in probe against N Srinivasan and others to the apex court on November 3.

Initially, 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.
