MP HC | Appropriate application to be filed to gain recognition from the Madhya Pradesh Olympic Association; Court dismisses petition

Madhya Pradesh High Court: Nandita Dubey, J. dismissed a petition seeking interim relief majorly in order to obtain a direction for recognition of its Association for welfare of the players.

A petition was filed before the High Court of Madhya Pradesh seeking interim relief under Article 226 of Indian Constitution directing the respondents to give recognition to the association for welfare of players. The petition sought to restrict respondent 5 for not taking part in Play Programme of the players, in illegal manner due to false and fabricated activity.

Lawyer for the respondent/State at the outset pointed out that the relief claimed at serial No.4 has rendered infructuous as the Khail programme already started on 17-12-2021.

The Court noted that the documents filed along with this petition shows that the petitioner a registered society and has been making complaints to the Madhya Pradesh Olympic Association; however not a single document is available on record to show that the petitioner even applied for recognition from the Madhya Pradesh Olympic Association thus the relief claimed by the petitioners cannot be granted under Article 226 of the Constitution. The Court suggested that the petitioner may move an appropriate application which will be decided in accordance with by-laws and rules in order to gain recognition from the Madhya Pradesh Olympic Association.[Sadan Jat v.
