Around 23 state associations, which include Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Haryana, are set to come hard at the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (COA) claiming that they have overstepped their defined role. They had also asked the state associations to submit the confirmation of compliance report of the Lodha Committee directives by March 1. “We have to strongly disagree with your view that the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court are lacking in clarity on the issue of disqualification. “There is neither any recommendations nor any order of the Hon’ble Court pertaining to disqualification being applied to representatives/nominees/patrons/advisors/committee members/council, members of state/member association. We feel you have overstepped your defined role and gone beyond the order of the Hon’ble Court,” the advisory reads.
