Such actions create avoidable duplication, may not withstand legal scrutiny: Sports Ministry to IOA on IGU elections recognition

The Hindu  

The Sports Ministry has pulled up the Indian Olympic Association for recognising the Indian Golf Union elections won by Harish Kumar Shetty-led faction, saying “such actions create avoidable duplication and confusion” which may not withstand legal scrutiny. “It is not clear whether the Indian Olympic Association Executive Committee and/or the concerned Affiliation Committee of the IOA or any appropriate committee of IOA has examined the matter with due diligence and regard to established legal provisions and norms, including the IGU’s constitution and the Sports Code. “Such actions by the IOA create avoidable duplication and confusion and may not withstand legal scrutiny.” Two AGMs were held on December 15 to elect the new IGU office-bearers -- one at the India Habitat Centre where Singh was re-elected president with retired Punjab and Haryana High Court judge, Rameshwar Malik, as the Returning Officer, and the other AGM at the Olympic Bhawan, where Shetty was elected with Justice OP Garg as the RO. “The present matter must be carefully examined by the Affiliation Committee and the Executive Committee of the IOA, and proper steps should be initiated to ensure that the governance of the IOA and IGU run smoothly as per established law and procedure, in accordance with their respective constitutions.” The ministry also took note of the fact that the elections of the Shetty-led faction was held in the premises of the IOA.
