After Delhi High Court’s Strong Order, AICF Plays Safe
On February 23, hours before the closure time for submission of list of delegates who would be the electoral college in the March 10,2024 office bearer elections, AICF president Dr Sanjay Kapoor sent a mail to all state and union territory chess officials asking them to send the list “in consonance with the National Sports Development Code, 2011, and judgments or orders passed by the Hon’ble Courts from time to time including Judgment dated 16.08.2022 passed in WP (C) 195/2010.”
Interestingly, the Delhi High Court on February 23 hearing the case between Devbhoomi Chess Association versus AICF had ordered: “UOI (Union of India/Government of India) has not filed any reply/affidavit in terms of the directions contained in para-6 of the order dated 14.02.2024.”
