Judges examined a report commissioned into spot-fixing in last year's tournament and recommended Srinivasan resign so a fair inquiry could be carried out. The court did not penalise any teams or players as part of the judgment.
The Herald on Sunday spoke to Modi who didn't wish to comment until further information came to hand. However, he tweeted: "Till the war is won - enjoy the new WWF in sports called cricket. As no one in cricket seems to have agenda to rid the menace of fixing".
He also had some advice to his old nemesis: "Hats off to N. Srinivasan. He is like a cat with 9 lives. He surely won the battle today. But, my friend, keep in mind the war is very much on."
Fleming was more circumspect as CSK coach: "From a cricketing point of view that's fine but obviously there are a number of political issues which still need dealing with. Watching it play out from afar makes you realise powerful forces are at work.
"We [Fleming and Srinivasan] work on a fairly superficial level. We catch up here and there to assess how the team is performing; he has a good cricket brain and a deep love of the game."
Fleming described the exit of Srinivasan's son-in-law, part of the CSK management team last year, as a "delicate situation".
"Since the revelations last year we've had little contact. Obviously it all came as a shock."
The Supreme Court reconvenes on April 16 to continue its investigation.
