NEW DELHI:India's Supreme Court on Monday jilted N Srinivasan's entreaty for refurbishment as BCCI president saying he cannot be granted with duties to take up the charge till he claimed a clean bill from Justice Mudgal Committee which is piercing him and 12 players taking part in Spot-fixing in IPL.
Srinivasan, who was compelled by court in March to stand aside as chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) discerning inquiry, now serving as the chief of International Cricket Council (ICC).
The tribunal inquiry, led by former judge Mukul Mudgal, had admitted basic reports into the accusation surrounding the Indian Premier League (IPL) to the Supreme Court on Friday but had asked for more time to pack up up their investigation.
In Monday´s investigation in New Delhi, a two-judge bench gave the committee until November 10 when the court will hear again.
The bench of judge said "Signing account book is not a ground. This cannot be a ground for renovation."
The court instructed the hearing after refusing a application by the BCCI to supervise its own inquest into plea about matches in last year´s Twenty20 tournament.
The bench added that no comments have been submitted against Srinivasan in the investigations but the inquiry is still going on and he will not allow to serve as BCCI boss.
It said that the chamber wants more time as it has to observe the statements of some players who are in England and playing for their team and also voice samples of some people need to be matched while investigating.
"We have observed the analysis from the report. Two months time for completion of inquiry does not seem authentic. The way in which it is going on, it will consume five years. It's going to be a hard charge for the Committee," the bench said, asking it to accelerate the sift.
International news organisations and Agence France-Presse (AFP) have left their on-field coverage of matches hosted by the BCCI since 2012 after the board set constraint on picture agencies.
