Supreme Court ignores BCCI’s plea to reinstate Srinivasan
(18:56)
New Delhi, Sep 1 (IANS) The Supreme Court Monday ignored the Indian cricket board’s plea to reinstate N. Srinivasan as its president and gave two more months to the Mukul Mudgal Committee to submit the final report in the spot-fixing and betting scandal in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) that involved 13 people, including some prominent cricketers.

It was a mixed bag for automobile makers in August with some like Maruti Suzuki, Ashok Leyland and TVS Motors logging overall growth while others are on the reverse gear waiting for the festival season to perk up the sales.

Experts are of the view that the sales growth is more due to sentiments than economic data.
