In the dock for slapping India teammate S Sreesanth [Images], Harbhajan Singh [Images] appeared for another disciplinary hearing before the Board of Control for Cricket in India commissioner, Sudhir Nanavati, on Friday.
Nanavati, who heard both Sreesanth and Harbhajan, said he will submit his report on Monday.
"All the proceedings of the investigation are over and now I don't need to talk to any player or official in this case. I'm satisfied with the answers of both Sreesanth and Harbhajan. I've all the evidence that I need to prepare the report," Nanavati told reporters after the hearing.
He said both players were very supportive and co-operative during the proceeding.
"I talked to Harbhajan for one hour and 15 minutes, and 30 minutes with Sreesanth. They were quite friendly during the hearing," the advocate said.
Mumbai Indians' stand-in skipper Harbhajan had slapped Kings XI Punjab pacer Sreesanth after the April 25 IPL match in Mohali, following which the off-spinner was banned from the remainder of the IPL. The slap cost Harbhajan nearly Rs 3 crore.
BCCI later slapped Harbhajan a show cause notice and appointed Nanavati to probe the incident.
The hearing took place at the Gujarat Law Society building, where Nanavati arrived at around 1400 hrs, followed by BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah. The hearing started at 1430 hrs after Harbhajan arrived, while Sreesanth came to the place around 1530 hrs.
