Police Dept. Letter
Mohammed Azharuddin (President HCA) 11-Dec-2022

It has been brought to my attention that some members are trying to convene a meeting on December 11, 2022.

We are aware that here is a supervisory committee appointed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

We are also aware that the Hon'ble High Court of Telangana has been instructing petitioners seeking relief on matters connected with HCA to petition the Supervisory Committee.

In this background, I am compelled to state that conducting a meeting without obtaining the permission of the Supervisory Committee is inherently illegal & does not have any sanctity. The connected matters have been brought to the Hon'ble High Court of Telangana & the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in different ways but no orders have been passed.

Rachakonda police has also issued an intimation that any requests for police bandobast for meetings in HCA must come along with a permission from the Supervisory Committee to hold such meetings.

In view of the above, the meeting on December 11, 2022 is illegal & without legal sanctity & necessary preventive & precautionary action will be taken in this regard.

Hon.President (22-09-2022)

Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) has not conducted any general body meeting on June 19, 2022. We have seen reports appearing in the electronic media that a group of alleged members of HCA gathered at a hotel & allegedly conducted a meeting which, if true, is illegal & in violation of the constitution. Any resolution passed in such a meeting is in violation of clause 44 of the HCA constitution & cannot be considered an amendment.

HCA is not aware of any order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court that permits HCA to increase the number of elected members to the APEX Council in addition to the amended bye-laws approved by the Hon'ble SC as part of the implementation of Lodha reforms in its orders passed in 2018.

Hon.President (19-06-2022)
