Hyderabad: The High Court at Hyderabad on Thursday dismissed a batch of civil revision petitions filed challenging the election process for executive committee of Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). This paved the way for announcement of results of the election held on January 17 this year. The High Court refused to stay the election, but stayed the announcement of results. That stay was now lifted with the dismissal of petitions.

Justice S V Bhatt passed a judicial order to this effect. It may be recalled that the City Civil Court had appointed an advocate commissioner to conduct the election to the executive committee of Hyderabad Cricket Association when cases were filed in the court by Bharat Cricket Club and Seshunarayan seeking conduct of elections to the HCA.

The Civil Revision Petitions were filed in the High Court challenging this order of Civil Court a day before the polls were to be held. The High Court refused to stay the election and allowed polling. Only, the results were not to be declared.

Justice Bhatt after hearing arguments on behalf of all the parties felt that the elections were conducted as per the Supreme Court directions based upon Lodha Committee report and therefore dismissed the petitions.
