HI VHA Hockey HC Vidarbha Hockey India India Indian Olympic Association NAGPUR

NAGPUR: In line with Indian Olympic Association (IOA's) "One State, One Unit" policy, the Vidarbha Hockey Association (VHA's) membership with Hockey India (HI) - the national governing body for the sport in India - will be revoked, Hockey Maharashtra members said.

The decision was made following a Nagpur bench of Bombay high court's June 20 order, which was uploaded on Wednesday. Justices Nitin Sambre and Abhay Mantri delivered the verdict while resolving the writ petition filed by VHA regarding the Association's membership with HI. With HC upholding HI's decision, VHA's membership will be considered withdrawn effective from July 1, 2020.
