NEW DELHI: The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has set in motion the exercise to hold elections to the new executive council (EC) of the embattled Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) by appointing retired Jammu and Kashmir High Court Chief Justice, Mahesh Mittal Kumar, as the returning officer (RO). IOA has suggested July 4 as the date to conclude the electoral process.
However, it will solely depend on the RO to hold the elections on July 4 or conduct it a few days later after issuing a 21-day notice to call the Special General Meeting (SGM) of the WFI. It's been learnt that the RO is expected to come up with the election notification in a couple of days.
