The Supreme Court on Wednesday set aside the Archery Association of India (AAI) constitution as amended by Delhi High Court-appointed administrator SY Quraishi, and also the elections held on December 22, 2018. The bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar and Justice Ajay Rastogi ordered fresh elections within next four weeks. The Apex court also relieved the administrator of his responsibilities and made some strong observation about the way he conducted elections. But the ministry refused to include AAI as a recognised body even after annual renewal in February citing flaws in constitution. Other NSFs left out of the annual recognition included Indian Golf Union, Gymnastics Federation of India and Taekwondo Federation of India.
