8216;Dissolved8217; IHF fights back, moves HC

The Indian Olympic Association on April 28 had suspended the IHF and had appointed an ad-hoc committee in its place. The decision to suspend IHF was taken at an emergency meeting of the IOA Executive Committee following the sting operation which caught IHF secretary K Jothikumaran purportedly accepting bribe to select a player in the national team.

Federation, through its counsel D K Sharma, contended that the action taken against it was illegal and unauthorised as it was dissolved without being served a show cause notice to respond to the allegations.
