Ex-judge bars biggies from HCA elections
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: In an effort to cleanse the Hyderabad Cricket Association, whose reputation is at a historic low, and free it, at least on paper, from the clutches of a few individuals, former Supreme Court judge Justice L. Nageswara Rao has debarred representatives of about 80 cricket clubs from contesting the HCA executive committee elections for a term. Though the office bearers or executive committee members of these 80 clubs are barred for contesting or voting in the elections, the cricketers representing these clubs should not be adversely affected, Justice Rao said in his order, copies of which are made available in the public domain on Monday. All the bigwigs including Purushottam Agarwal and several of his family members together controlling seven clubs, former cricketers Arshad Ayub and Vanka Pratap, secretary of the outgoing committee R. Vijayanand, vice-president K. John Manoj, 1983 World Cup team manager P.R. Justice Rao also put to rest the ownership claims of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation over 18 clubs which its officials argued were transferred to private persons unauthorisedly sometime ago.
