Assign admin for Bangladesh, India Test : Hyderabad HC

HYDERABAD: In view of the test match between India and Bangladesh scheduled to be held at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium here on February 9 as well as the ongoing tussle among various groups for control over the Hyderabad Cricket Association, the high court was on Thursday urged to appoint an administrator to ensure smooth conduct of the match, reports Times of India from Hyderabad.
Senior counsel S Niranjan Reddy made this appeal to a bench of Acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice Shameem Akther that was hearing a public interest petition filed by former player and practising advocate M Govind Reddy seeking cleansing of the cricket body and reviving the tradition of Hyderabad contributing good cricketers.
Appearing for the petitioner, the senior counsel described the HCA as a public entity and open to judicial scrutiny. He accused those running the association of mismanagement and urged the court to ensure that it was administered in tune with the recent guidelines issued by the Supreme Court. In view of the Lodha Committee recommendations, the HCA president was rendered ineligible to hold the post and hence he stepped down, the counsel explained. Now a person is functioning as officiating secretary and another body came to the fore as ad hoc committee to run the association, he said. "In view of this conflicting contentions and claims, it is essential to have a court-monitored administrator," he added.
