Bharat Singh Chauhan Removed as Delhi Chess Association President
Imagine a chess club in Delhi had a leader, but a special rules committee decided he couldn't be the leader anymore.
The rules said he'd been in charge for too long.
This committee, made up of three lawyers, made this decision.
Another person complained about the leader, and the committee agreed that the leader should be removed immediately.
The leader argues the committee might not have the authority to make this decision and there's a court case coming up soon about it.
Also, the person who complained might have broken some rules too.
The committee is also considering other requests related to the chess club and the removal of the leader.
The AICF ethics commission ordered Bharat Singh Chauhan's removal as Delhi Chess Association president.
The removal was based on violations of the National Sports Development Code.
The ethics commission's order came after a complaint from Sandeep Singh.
Chauhan contests the ruling, citing the formation of the ethics commission.
A related case is scheduled for a hearing in the Delhi High Court.
