Indian Olympic President Narinder Batra Says He Will Not Run For Second Term
Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra on Wednesday announced that he will not seek re-election for the top job after the Delhi High court declared the posts he held in Hockey India as "illegal". Batra had filed his nomination for the IOA president's post in 2017 as a representative (life member) of Hockey India and won the election. But the Delhi HC on Wednesday declared the position Batra had held in HI as "illegal" since it was not in consonance with the National Sports Code. "The HC said the position Batra had held in Hockey India was illegal," advocate Anil Soni told PTI when asked about the High Court verdict.
