Judgment text
IN THE HIGH COURT OF MANIPUR AT IMPHAL (Video Conference) W. P. (C) No. 562 of 2020 Shri Mutum Phairenjaoba Singh …Petitioner(s) Vs. State of Manipur …Respondent(s) B E F O R E HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KH. NOBIN SINGH O R D E R 28-10-2020 Heard Shri N. Jotendro, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner; Shri M. Devananda, learned Advocate appearing for the respondent No. 5 and Shri Th. Vashum, learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent Nos. 1, 2 and 3. [1] Certain issues relating to the Manipur Sepak Takraw Association did arise because of which various writ petitions were filed in this Court and after having heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties, the judgment and order had been reserved which is yet to be pronounced by this Court.
[2] This is a writ petition filed by two petitioners praying for issuing a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ to direct the respondents to make an interim arrangement for sending two representations from the State of Manipur as regards the Annual General Body Meeting of the Sepak Takraw Federation of India to be held on 29-11-2020. [3] According to the petitioners, since the judgment and order reserved in respect of the earlier writ petitions, had not yet been pronounced, the issues arisen in respect of the All Manipur Sepak Takraw Association remain unresolved. [4] A notice dated 12-10-2020 was issued by the Sepak Takraw Federation of India as regards its Annual General Body Meeting to be held on 29-11-2020.
As per the Model Code of Election, the permanent member State/Union Territory duly affiliated by the Sepak Trakraw Federation of India shall have two votes in the election of the office bearers and the Executive Members of the Association for which two representatives are required to be nominated by them and the last date of sending such representatives falls on 30-10-2020. [5] It has been submitted by Shri N. Jotendro, learned Senior Advocate appearing for the petitioner that in view of the urgency involved in the matter, the two representatives may be nominated by this Court– one, from amongst the petitioners and another, from the respondent No . 5 to which it has been submitted by Shri M. Devananda, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 5 that if two representatives are to be nominated, both shall be from the respondent No. 5 and that this order passed by this court shall be subject to the outcome of the said writ petitions.
[6] After having heard the learned counsels appearing for the parties, this court is of the view that the judgment and order which had been reserved in the earlier writ petitions, is expected to be pronounced in the near future and that the nomination of two representatives by this Court may not be proper for the reason that this Court is not aware of the details of the persons who can be nominated as representatives. However, the Department of Youth Affairs & Sports is the appropriate department for nomination of two representatives from amongst the eligible persons who will represent the State in respect of the sports of Sepak Takraw. [7] In view of the above, the writ petition stands disposed of with the order that the petitioners and the respondent No.
5 are given liberties to approach the Commissioner (Youth Affairs & Sports), Government of Manipur by way of representations by today itself either through WhatsApp/ e-mail and on receipt of the representations, the Commissioner (Youth Affairs & Sports), Government of Manipur in consultation, if required, with the Director of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of Manipur, shall nominate two representatives by tomorrow evening itself. The nomination of two representatives by the State Government shall be subject to the outcome of the judgment and order to be pronounced by this Court. Copies of this order shall be sent to the counsels appearing for the parties including the Commissioner (Youth Affairs & Sports), Government of Manipur through their WhatsApp/e-mail.
