HYDERABAD: Justice C.V. Bhaskar Reddy of the Telangana High Court on Thursday started hearing a writ plea requiring a serious probe into the affairs of HCA (Hyderabad Cricket Association) and the need for a full-fledged CBI inquiry based on the allegations made in a writ petition filed by TCA (Telangana Cricket Association) alleging financial and administrative malpractices.The petitioner contended that it was evident by the forensic audit report and the findings of the single-member committee, led by Justice L. Nageshwar Rao, that there was prima facie evidence of financial mismanagement in the association. Counsel for the TCA argued that a detailed inquiry by a competent authority was required, particularly given the multiple complaints and ongoing investigations by different agencies into HCA’s affairs.The judge also heard Ashok Anand, counsel for HCA. Adjourning the matter to April 15 at the instance of HCA, Justice Bhaskar Reddy also found the need to hear the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on the matter.It is contextually relevant to point out that the TCA moved the Mumbai High Court for directions against the BCCI for recognising the TCA as an independent unit for encouraging cricket in Telangana. The issue also gains significance in view of the recently reported skirmish between the HCA and the local IPL team SRH though the waters are reportedly calm.The latest development is that Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) has entered the picture and invited SRH to make Andhra its headquarters. Justice Bhaskar Reddy pointed out that the court will not hesitate to take the extreme step of suspending the present governing body of HCA.
