In a way, Monday’s verdict from the Tees Hazari Courts didn’t
come as shock to most of the people. Many people at the Delhi and District
Cricket Association (DDCA) had already known what would happen. And expectedly,
Justice KS Mohi, the man appointed to conduct the elections was removed and in place
a new election officer is to be appointed.
The two factions Messrs CK Khanna-Chetan Chauhan-Ravindra
Manchanda and Messrs Sneh Bansal-Vinod
Tihara-Sunil Dev won one round each or let us put it this way, scored a goal
each to end Monday, the June 29, to end the day’s play as a draw.
For convenience sake I’ll abbreviate the factions. I am
sure you guys too would appreciate the abbreviated versions. If not and you
happen to be a devotee of any of these, then you can expand the abbreviations
while reading it.
While the BTD (Bansal-Tihara-Dev) faction managed to get Justice
Mohi removed as election officer, the KCM (Khanna-Chauhan-Manchanda) group managed
to get the case shifted to another judge for today’s hearing (i.e Tuesday, June
30). The KCM group thinks that the issue is of election date which needs to be set
before August 4, preferably by July 31.
Mr Khanna had said a week back that he is ready for a
change in the election officer. “You see that is not the issue with us. We don’t
mind changing the election officer,” he had said last week. “The only thing is
that we want the elections to be held on time.”
Mr Chauhan too has been of the same view. “We have,
however, managed to shift the case to the other court. Our primary interest is to
have elections on time.”
Whether the case shifts or stays at the same court and
with the same judge remains to be seen.
The release from the BTD faction, meanwhile, celebrated
KS Mohi’s removal. It stated, “In a big setback to Sh CK Khanna the BCCI &
DDCA Vice President, a Delhi Court today rejected his controversial appointee
Sh KS Mohi, retired judge as the Election Officer for the forthcoming SWC
Elections of the DDCA.”
Stay tuned for more drama.
