SC: Srini and Dhoni's deposition that Meiyappan was cricket enthusiast is wrong
The Supreme Court on Thursday stated that stands taken by Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Srinivasan were proven wrong by the Mudgal Committee
Supreme Court on Thursday noted that the stand taken by Cricketer M S Dhoni and BCCI chief-in-exile N Srinivasan that Gurunath Meiyappan had nothing to do with the Chennai Super Kings and was merely a cricket enthusiast was proved wrong by the Justice Mukul Mudgal committee.
"N Srinivasan and M S Dhoni, in their depositions before the Committee, took the stand that Gurunath Meiyappan had nothing to do with the cricketing affairs of CSK and that he was only a cricketing enthusiast.
"That stand was proved to be factually wrong by the Probe Committee who found that Gurunath Meiyappan was a team official who had access to sensitive match information not available to any ordinary cricketing enthusiast," a bench headed by Justice T S Thakur said.
