Supreme Court Approves Timeline For Polls To IOA Executive Council
The Supreme Court on Monday approved the timeline for amendment of the draft constitution of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and its elections, as agreed in the meeting with the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne, Switzerland on September 27. The bench directed: "Once the new constitution has been duly adopted and concurred with by IOC, there shall be a direction to this effect that the new constitution shall be adopted by the IOA general body under the mandatory direction of this court". According to the note submitted by the Centre to the court, Justice Rao will hold the first meeting on October 14 and the draft constitution preparation work will be held between October 14 and November 7. It says on October 20, a notice for a special AGM of the IOA for adoption of the new constitution will be issued as 15 days' clear notice is needed for the special Annual General Meeting. The executive board of the IOC, which met in Lausanne, had also decided not to recognise any "acting/interim president" after Narinder Batra's ouster as Indian Olympic Association chief and said it will deal with secretary general Rajeev Mehta as the main point of contact. Batra later officially resigned as IOA President. Source - NDTV #olympic #ioa
