AITA Prez Faces No-confidence Motion As Court Refuses To Grant Stay Against EGM
All India Tennis Association: Engaged in a court battle with players Somdev Devvarman and Purav Raja over its failure to adhere to the National Sports Code, the All-India Tennis Federation (AITA) is facing more turmoil with eight state tennis associations proposing a no-confidence motion against its President Dr Anil Jain and preparing for legal action if the organisation fails to assuage their concerns.
The eight state associations which include Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Tripura and Gujarat have sought action against the AITA President alleging that he has caused monetary losses to the federation by travelling abroad with his family. An Extra-ordinary General Meeting (EGM) has been called in New Delhi on Saturday to discuss this issue, a senior tennis official from Maharashtra confirmed to IANS on Friday.
In response, Dr Jain moved an application for an urgent hearing and stay on the EGM but a Delhi court disallowed the plea. The matter has now been listed on Monday. The EGM can be held on Saturday.
