AITA President Accused of Misspending Funds on Trips
Imagine a big tennis club, and some people in charge are arguing about money.
One person says the club's boss spent too much on trips, especially for his wife to go with him.
The boss says he was allowed to bring his wife.
They are also fighting about whether the recent election was done correctly, and the boss wants to cancel the election.
Now, they are having meetings to sort out the issues.
AITA Finance Committee member accused President Anil Jain of misusing over Rs. 1 crore on international trips.
The allegations include expenses for Jain's wife's travel, which Jain claims was authorized.
The Finance Committee raised travel allowances but did not receive EC approval.

Jain requested the Delhi Court to declare AITA's elections null and void.
