Delhi High Court Urged to Oversee Table Tennis Federation Amid Compliance Concerns

The Delhi High Court seeks input from the Centre and Table Tennis Federation of India on a plea for appointing an administrator to manage the sports body's operations. This follows allegations of Sports Code violations and governance issues. The court has granted four weeks for counter affidavits.

The Delhi High Court has called for responses from the Centre and the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) regarding a plea to appoint an administrator to oversee the federation's daily operations.

The bench, led by Chief Justice Manmohan, also issued notices to the central government and TTFI on a public interest litigation seeking suspension of the federation's national status until it adheres to the Sports Code.

Petitioner Yatharth Pandya, a former national-level table tennis player, claims TTFI is in violation of the Sports Code, necessitating judicial intervention and transparency in its operations.
