According to the HC, Chauhan did not get a 2/3rd majority during last year's elections as mandated by the National Sports Development Code of India (NSDCI). Chauhan is also the tournament director of the Chess Olympiad but it should not have a bearing on his position as the director. This affidavit said, among other things, that two-thirds majority was not required by Chauhan to get elected as AICF secretary. The government, through its affidavit, tried to defend the AICF secretary but its argument was not accepted by the judges. After this, there are some other federations who would be in trouble because of violating the 2/3rd majority code.
