Dy Charity Comm passes order on 11-year-old case
n By Paritosh Pramanik
IN A major boost to the ruling body of the Vidarbha Hockey Association (VHA) ahead of November elections, the Deputy Charity Commissioner of Nagpur has ordered the association to incorporate 51 members as its life members (who were enrolled in 1989) and “allow them to attend all meetings and to vote in the meetings and elections.”
The ordered was passed on May 25, 2015 on the application filed by late Balraj Aher and GM Pillay.
The decision along with the order copy were submitted to VHA by former VHA incharge secretary, GM Pillay along with a letter to incorporate the members.
On Wednesday, the executive committee unanimously accepted the decision of the Deputy Charity Commissioner and decided to incorporate all the 51 members.
“How can I go against court’s order? I will have to abide by the order. We will incorporate all the said members as life members of the association,” VHA President Radheshyam Sarda told ‘The Hitavada.’ These ‘new; 51 votes will definitely help the Sadar-based Hockey Lovers Panel in the ensuing elections against Bhartia-Gawai led panel.
How the life members got back in VHA fold
On September 12, 1989, Joint Charity Commissioner Office, Nagpur had ordered GM Pillay to work as Incharge secretary of VHA after two change reports, one by the elected body and another by TN Sidhra (who had lost the secretary’s post in the elections), were filed with the competent authority.
The elected body then called an executive committee meeting on September 17, 1989 and it was decided to enroll 51 new life members.
Since then till 2004, VHA was run by late Balraj Aher as President and GM Pillay as its Incharge secretary. Then in 2004-05 Arun Kokane of Gondia Hockey Association brought an order from Joint Charity Commissioner to hold elections of the association and a fresh body was elected then (in 2005).
But the court’s order also stated that the list of voters which was used in 1987 will be used in 2005 polls.
After the new VHA body took charge, GM Pillay submitted a letter on September 3, 2005, stating that during his tenure (in 1989) 51 life members were enrolled and the same should be added to the list used during the 2005 polls. But several members opposed it and Aher and Pillay had no other option but to move court.
Pillay submitted all the relevant documents and copy of minutes of the executive meeting during which new members were enrolled, to the court.
After years of legal battle, the Deputy Charity Commissioner office passed the order on May 25, 2015 in Pillay’s favour and asked the association to incorporate all the 51 members.
