Live LawThe Supreme Court, on Tuesday, appointed retired Supreme Court judge, Justice L. Nageswara Rao as a single-member committee to oversee the process of election of the Hyderabad Cricket Association. Let it be under his supervision.” Justice Kaul enquired, “Has anybody checked with his willingness?” Mr. Bhushan submitted, “If there are several persons and he is one in a committee, that might not be acceptable to him. But, if he is the only person he is willing.” Accordingly, the Bench appointed Justice Rao - “We are of the view that the impasse must be broken and elections held, which was the original objective…Now the question is how to ensure that fair and proper election is held so that the matter can be put to rest…This court is of the view that justice Nageswar Rao, retired judge of this court would be the most appropriate person to be appointed as the single member committee to sort out this mess.” The Bench made it clear that it was open to the retired judge to seek assistance from whichever authorities he thinks fit. In September, last year, the Apex Court had also appointed Justice Nageswara Rao, to take over the process of amending the constitution of the Indian Olympic Association, preparing its electoral rolls; and conducting elections to its executive body.
