NEW DELHI: Former Bihar Government Election Officer, Ajay Nayak was appointed returning officer for Hockey India elections, which will take place by October 9.
The appointment was made at a meeting held between the International Hockey Federation (FIH) and the Committee of Administrators (CoA) who currently run the sport in the country.
The meeting took place in the presence of the Acting President of the FIH seif ahmedCEO Thierry Weill and CoA members Justice Anil R Dave, SY Quraishi and Zafar Iqbal.
AK Majumdar was appointed Deputy Returning Officer.
“They will take up their duties with immediate effect,” the national federation said in a statement.
The two-member FIH delegation was in the nation’s capital to discuss the way forward and avoid possible suspension of Hockey India, currently placed under the CoA on the directive of the Delhi High Court.
The FIH has been adamant that it “does not view the court as a third party”, ruling out the possibility of a ban just months before the men’s World Cup, which will be held in Bhubaneswar and Rourkela from January 13-29.
