Court Battle Looms Over TTFI Secretary General's Suspension

Kamlesh Mehta plans to seek judicial intervention after being suspended from his role as Secretary General of the Table Tennis Federation of India. He alleges unfair treatment and governance issues, contrasting with the federation's claims of process and governance irregularities.

Suspended Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) Secretary General Kamlesh Mehta is considering legal action following his removal at the federation's annual general meeting. This comes after Mehta, an established figure in Indian table tennis, decried his suspension as unjust and procedurally flawed.

Mehta, a former international player, expressed dismay at being penalized for fulfilling his duties correctly. He plans to challenge the suspension in court, arguing that the TTFI President's actions compromise the federation's fairness, accountability, and governance, potentially impacting the sport negatively.

The TTFI defended its decision, citing serious governance failures and financial irregularities. Meanwhile, Mehta accused the President of unilateral decision-making and lack of transparency, highlighting alleged favoritism in tender processes and discrimination against North-Eastern states.
