The apex court bench headed by Justice T.S. Thakur relieved Gavaskar noting that the IPL 2014 for which he was appointed interim president had concluded June 1.
The court's order came in the wake of a letter by Gavaskar to the apex court seeking clarity on his position in BCCI after the conclusion of IPL 2014 which he was entrusted to look after.
The apex court had appointed the former India captain as interim president in March after then BCCI chief N. Srinivasan was asked to step aside in the wake of the alleged betting charges against his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan during IPL 2013.
