Hyderabad: SC committee finds several irregularities in HCA

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: The supervisory committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India to monitor the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA) submitted its latest findings to the apex court on Tuesday.
The report revealed startling facts on HCA memberships.
No record of memberships exists. No documentary evidence on how the electoral roll of HCA was drawn in 2019 by the election officer.
A few HCA members own 7-8 clubs. These members are responsible for ‘subverting the democracy’ by using their votes as well as manipulating the selection procedure for state teams.
“They blackmail all institutionalized processes provided by Justice Lodha Committee reforms incorporated in the by-laws in state team selection procedure, buying and selling of teams,” the report said.
“These said members also indulge in leasing teams that are under their control to brokers for lakhs of rupees. These brokers loot families of budding cricketers who dream of playing league matches hosted by HCA. These matches form the basis for selection to state teams,” the report said.
HCA, which is recognised by the BCCI as the sole representative of cricket in Telangana, contains an imbalanced democracy. “This is because a majority of Hyderababd-based clubs form the electoral college of HCA while the remaining districts of Telangana do not have an equal say. The committee is working on a suitable model of memberships that are equitable,” the report stated.
Moreover, the names of member clubs change frequently, raising suspicion of clubs being sold for crores of rupees, the report points out.

“There have been complaints from the state government alleging large-scale frauds in HCA memberships, lack of intent to provide equal membership rights to districts and has also highlighted the disappearance of hundreds of clubs that existed 35 years ago. There is no record of how these clubs disappeared and who took them over,” the report stated.
The report confirms through sources that membership frauds have existed since the 90s and have increased over time. It then says that the chairman of the committee was hesitant to sign the report, for reasons unknown.
“Normally, frauds in membership have to be looked into by the Ombudsman. Some beneficiaries appointed the Ombudsman of their choice by using their majority and made sure complaints regarding fraudulent memberships, multiple clubs etc never see the light of the day,” the report said.
Finally, the report suggested a decentralised structure for HCA with all districts and municipal corporations as members in order to stop the monopoly of private clubs.
The selection process should be in line with Justice Lodha reforms which recognize the territory as the basis for memberships and led to the concept of one state-one vote.
“A change is always desirable when systems are manipulated and institutionalized corruption takes over. The recent arrest of a vice-president of a member club of HCA on corruption charges only shows how deep-rooted the disease is,” the report concluded.
