HC notice to TNCA

Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: The Madras High Court on Thursday ordered notice to the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) on a suit seeking a permanent injunction restraining the TNCA from giving effect to its letter of recognition to a list of office-bearers of the Thoothukudi District Cricket Association (TDCA), and consequently recognise the duly-elected members of the petitioner’s association.

According to R. Muthu Manoharan, president of the Thoothukudi District Cricket Association, he being a member of TNCA was entitled to attend and vote in the AGM of TNCA apart from certain other benefits and concessions.

The elections for the TDCA for 2007-2010 was held on December 19 last year under the supervision of three eminent local people and it was conducted in a manner known to law and office-bearers were elected.

He sent a letter to the TNCA with the list of elected office-bearers, but there was no reply. Later, one V.R. Sivakumaran claiming to be the secretary of the TDCA sent a circular stating that TNCA had approved his (Sivakumaran) list of office-bearers by a letter dated January 25 this year. The petitioner said the action of the TNCA was highly arbitrary.

When the matter came up before Justice V.R. Ramasubramanian he ordered notice to the respondent. He posted the matter for June 24 for filing counter.
