Telangana High Court Revives BCCI Ombudsman Proceedings in HCA Dispute
A court in Telangana is hearing a disagreement about how the Hyderabad Cricket Association is being managed.
An earlier court order had stopped a BCCI Ombudsman from examining the dispute.
A two-judge bench has now paused that earlier order.
This means the Ombudsman can continue looking into the case.
The proceedings will use Rules 40 and 41 of the BCCI Constitution.
The challenge was led by Supreme Court advocate Aditya Kumar Chowdhury.
Cricketers Gourav Sharma and Navarasan had earlier raised concerns about the association.
They said they wanted their concerns heard by the proper forum, not a personal victory.
They welcomed the court’s latest decision.
The Telangana High Court Division Bench stayed an earlier order halting BCCI Ombudsman proceedings.
The case concerns an ongoing governance dispute involving the Hyderabad Cricket Association.
Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice Moinuddin heard the challenge to the August 14 interim order.
The ruling allows proceedings under Rules 40 and 41 of the BCCI Constitution to resume.
Cricketers Gourav Sharma and Navarasan said the decision strengthened their faith in the rule of law.
