The hearing was chaired by retired county court judge Gordon Lewis.
Katich was charged with bringing the game into disrepute after he said that his much publicised dressing room bust-up with Clarke during a Sydney Test two years ago had contributed to the opener losing his national contract. The Southpaw had also said that he was not likely to get a national call-up as long as Clarke is at the helm.
"It was never my intention to infringe the CA Code of Behaviour. I merely summed up the situation as I perceived it to be in relation to my career and the opportunities that I think currently exist for me to play Test cricket," Katich said in a CA release.
Katich escaped any ban or fine.
"I am delighted that Commissioner Lewis took into account my previous good record and the character references I submitted."
Katich made it clear that he was in no mood for retirement.
"I am not retiring. I still love playing cricket and I intend to score many more runs before pulling stumps. I would like to thank everyone who has sent me messages of support," said Katich, who is all set to feature for New South Wales in a Sheffield Shield game against Tasmania starting in Canberra Tuesday..
