JUST two days before the election of Vidarbha Hockey Association (VHA), treasurer Shyam Sharma has moved the High Court demanding removal of 51 new life members who were recently included in the voters’ list.
VHA, in mid-October, had included 51 new members following deputy charity commissioner’s order passed in May 2015. Sharma was against the move and even sought explanation from secretary DS Karunashankar for delay in submitting the order. The order was presented to the VHA executive 16 months after it was passed. Sharma has now approached the High Court requesting to set aside the deputy charity commissioner’s order as it was presented before the executive committee on the day when elections were declared.
“I am not against elections. I only want those 51 members should not be allowed to cast their votes in this election. Hence I have approached the court praying to set aside the deputy charity commissioner’s order dated May, 2015. The order was presented before the executive committee committee after 16 months (in October, 2016),” Sharma told ‘The Hitavada’.
Sharma has made former VHA incharge secretary Gurumurthy Pillay and Vidarbha Hockey Association party in the case.
When contacted, VHA president Radheshyam Sarda said he has not received any notice from the court while Pillay confirmed about receiving it on Wednesday evening.
Sharma, along with TN Sidhra, Kishor Goydani and Sanjay Lokhande, had opposed the timing of inclusion of 51 members during the executive committee meeting. “The reason to oppose the adoption is that when the certified copy of the judgement was procured by (DS) Karunashankar in May 2015 why did he keep it under wraps for 16 months. Suddenly they come up with the list of members and order. Why was it not put before the committee when he got the copy of the judgement 16 months back,” Sharma had asked.
Sharma was one of the intervenors along with Vinod Gawai in the case.
