NEW DELHI: Saying it was "appalled" by the "sorry state of affairs", the Delhi high court on Friday suspended the decision making body of the Table Tennis Federation of India and appointed an administrator in its place.
Justice Rekha Palli, while hearing the petition filed by Commonwealth Games gold medalist Manika Batra, found enough in the report of a court-appointed three-member enquiry panel to observe that TTFI "safeguarded the interests of its officials" and "instead of promoting players, is dictating terms". The panel was constituted following allegations of match-fixing levelled by Batra.
