Maintain status quo, SC on Delhi HC direction to put IOA under CoA #IndiaNEWS #Football
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Thursday ordered status quo after being told by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) that the Delhi High Court appointed committee of administrators (CoA) has not taken charge of the national body, which is a member of the International Olympic Committee.
The IOA had moved the Supreme Court challenging a Delhi High Court order of appointing a committee of administrators (CoA) to run its day-to-day governance.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the IOA, submitted before a bench headed by Chief Justice N. V. Ramana that the issue is troubling the nation and the IOA is part of the International Olympic Committee. Mehta contended that according to the international committee an elected body should represent the association and if the IOA is represented by a non-elected body then it is treated as third party interference. India stands 99 per cent chance to be suspended from any international Olympic event, said Mehta, adding that it is a matter of national prestige.
The top court said, We ask parties to maintain status-quoit is made clear that charge has not been handed over. List it before the appropriate bench on Monday.
The top court has scheduled the matter for further hearing on Monday. Earlier in the day, Mehta mentioned the matter for hearing before a bench headed by Chief Justice N. V. Ramana. Mehta said in international sports circles such committee of administrators are considered outsiders. The top court agreed to take up the matter later in the day.
