The Supreme Court said that N Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and Raj Kundra were involved in betting.
However, it also said that Srinivasan was not guilty of cover-up and "charges against him, at best, be regarded as suspicion." It also said that "BCCI functions are public functions, amenable to judicial law."
"At best there is only a case of suspicion of cover-up against Srinivasan. He had deep-rooted interest in CSK matches; his behaviour raises suspicion but isn't proof," the apex court said.

As a consequence, Srinivasan may now be allowed to contest the BCCI
presidential elections that are expected to be held shortly.
The apex court has said that conflict of interest issues remain and Srinivasan has to choose between his IPL team Chennai Super Kings and the cricket Board. The court has also struck down the controversial 6.2.4 clause that allows BCCI officials to own IPL teams.
