18 Oct 2014 11:42 PM GMT
Rajasthan High Court on Friday appointed state sports secretary J C Mahanti to manage the day-to-day affairs of Rajasthan Cricket Association for three weeks after Lalit Modi faction filed a case challenging their rival group’s ‘forcible’ taking over of RCA offices.
Justice M N Bhandari passed the order after hearing a petition filed by Mehmood Abdi, Modi’s close
aide and Deputy President of RCA, and 11 others.
The single judge also issued notices to state government and self-styled RCA president Amin Pathan.
The Modi faction had filed a case in Jaipur bench of the High Court against Pathan, a vice-president of the association, and his aides for ‘forcibly’ occupying the RCA offices after allegedly removing the former IPL commissioner.
Pathan had said that he had taken over as acting president, but the Modi faction disputed the legitimacy of Pathan’s group.
Abdi had alleged that the ‘so called EGM was illegal and it appeared that false and fabricated documents signed by unauthorised and fictitious persons have been prepared by respondents showing them as representatives of the District Cricket Association to make a claim.’
