The Indian Olympic Association wants the sports ministry to extend the deadline for submission of response to a questionnaire seeking age and tenure details of national sports federations’ office-bearers which is crucial to a case pending on the NSFs recognition in the Delhi High Court. “We suggest that immediately, all NSFs ask for four weeks’ time to reply since most NSFs’ office staff are not on duty due to COVID-19,” IOA President Narinder Batra and Secretary General Rajeev Mehta stated in a joint statement. “The President and Secretary General are meeting on Monday 10th August to discuss this issue and will seek time to meet with the Hon’ble Minister and Secretary Sports,” the statement added. The Delhi High Court had turned down the petition moved by the Sports Ministry seeking modification of its February 7 order which had barred the Centre and the IOA from taking any decision regarding the NSFs without informing it.
