| JKCA row: HC serves notice to BCCI on Farooq's petition | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Nov 6: The J&K High Court today issued notice to BCCI and Union of India through sports ministry to file reply to a petition filed by National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah, asking them to recognize JKCA led by him as legitimate cricket-governing body in Jammu and Kashmir.
Hearing the petition filed by Abdullah and chairman of JKCA Arvinder Singh, a single bench of the court comprising Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar directed Secretary, Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, and BCCI through its president to file the reply by or before November 23.
In the plea, the petitioners through their counsel Himanshu Beotra have submitted that BCCI and the sport ministry failed to take any action against rebel JKCA despite various requests and various court orders.
"The BCCI, by adding insult to injury, recognized the team illegally selected by the self claimed office bearers of JKCA from Ranji Trophy and refused the actual team selected by petitioners prejudicing not only the rights of the petitioners but also the career of various sports persons of the state," the petitioners said. They said the respondents being supreme authority in controlling the cricketing activity across India are obliged to take appropriate steps against the persons hampering the cricket activities and its associated members like JKCA.
Court however declined their prayer for directing BCCI to allow JKCA to participate in annual meeting which is scheduled to be held on Monday.
On July 20, this year Dr Farooq was dethroned as the president of JKCA after a faction of the cricket body elected PDP leader and Sports minister Imran Raza Ansari as its new chief. The result was however stayed the court. |
