Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of governance and transparency within the Archery Association of India, following a public interest litigation that sought the appointment of an Administrator to oversee the association's affairs. The court upheld the High Court's decision to place the AAI under the supervision of an Administrator until necessary constitutional amendments and elections were conducted. This ruling emphasizes the importance of accountability and proper governance in sports associations.
