The Madras High Court ordered that election for the office bearers of the AICF be held in Hyderabad on February 10, and also extended the date of filing the nomination to February 6.
The elections can be convened and held in terms of the bye-laws and also as per the National Sports Development Code of 2011. Originally, the general body meeting for February 10 was called by Raja in Chennai to elect new office bearers on December 18, 2019.
The court also said if the Returning Officer -- retired Supreme Court Justice Fakkir Mohamed Ibrahim Kallifula -- is of the view that it is not convenient to have the Special General Body meeting on February 10, then a new date, time and venue may be decided by him independently.
In such a case, the Returning Officer shall send fresh notices to all the members of the AICF general body indicating the new date, timeand the venue.
