The Justice Mukul Mudgal Committee, which had been granted a two-month extension to complete the probe against ICC chairman N Srinivasan and others in the IPL betting and match-fixing scandal, on Monday submitted its final report to India's Supreme Court in a sealed envelope.

This comes nearly six month after the SC asked IPS officer BB Mishra and the police departments of Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai to assist the investigation into the corruption scandal. The SC empowered the probe panel to carry out search and seize but refrained it from making any arrest on its own.

In early September, the SC had given the Mudgal Committee two months to finish its investigation IPL betting and match-fixing controversy. The committee had submitted its interim report to the apex court on August 29.

The IPL spot-fixing scandal broke out during the 2013 IPL when India fast bowler Sreesanth, along with two other Rajasthan Royals players Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan and 11 bookies, were arrested for alleged spot-fixing in the tournament.

An internal probe panel, originally comprising former judges T Jayaram Chouta and R Balasubramanian and the then BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale, was constituted on May 28 to investigate the allegations against Meiyappan, who maintained his innocence after getting bail.
