Delhi HC orders Narinder Batra to stop functioning as IOA chief

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to stay an order which had directed Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President Narinder Batra to step down from his post. "No, we are not staying it. Only on a technical issue, we have issued a notice," a division bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad said while issuing notices to the respondents, the Centre, and petitioner, former hockey player Aslam Sher Khan.

The bench was hearing the appeal moved by Batra challenging the June 24 order, in which he was restrained from holding the post of IOA President.

Shyel Trehan, who appeared on behalf of Batra, was seeking a stay on the order passed by a vacation bench of Justice Dinesh Sharma. Further hearing in the matter will be on July 26. (IANS)
