The Supreme Court's next date of hearing is November 10 and the entire BCCI is eagerly awaiting the verdict of the apex court.

S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan were three prominent IPL cricketers arrested on allegations of spot-fixing while former CSK 'Team Principal' Gurunath Meiyappan and Bollywood actor Vindoo Dara Singh were behind the bars on allegations of betting during the sixth edition of the cash-rich league.

The apex court will deliberate on the findings on November 10 which could determine if world cricket chief N Srinivasan can seek re-election as president of the Indian board.

"We have submitted the report in a sealed envelope to the court," Raju Ramachandran, lawyer for the panel, told AFP, without elaborating.

In February, Mudgal panel presented a sealed envelope to the court containing names of 13 individuals who needed to be probed further.

The court revealed that Srinivasan was one of the names on the list and ordered the panel to investigate him and the 12 other unidentified persons.
