In an order passed on May 21, Justice Tara Vitasta Ganju said that the AAC shall take over the day-to-day administration and functioning of the EFI. Once it assumes charge, the existing office bearers will no longer be entitled to discharge any function.
“The AAC will have the power to issue all appropriate directions as may be necessary for the day to day functioning of Respondent No. 1/EFI under the signatures of the Chairperson. The AAC shall be authorised to make appropriate arrangements for the governance of Respondent No. 1/EFI until the elections are held. The decision of the learned Chairman shall be final and binding on the Respondent No. 1/EFI,” the Court ordered.
The Bench gave the EFI 10 days to submit a report to the AAC setting out all the decisions taken by the federation’s erstwhile secretary general from September 29, 2023 till date.
“The AAC shall file its Report within six weeks and thereafter, as directed by the Court. This interim arrangement shall continue until further orders of the Court,” the Court added.
