Sujlana, who was born in undivided Punjab, is survived by three daughters.
The jovial Sujlana, who was also secretary of the MHAL for four years from 2000-2004 after being its vice president from 1997, donned quite a few hats in hockey, officiating first at the international level as an umpire at the 1978 Asian Games in Bangkok.
Later, he was a judge at the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, at the 5th World Cup hosted by India at the Wankhede Stadium here in 1981-82 and in the 1982 Asiad in New Delhi and the 1996 Champions Trophy.
Sujlana was the chairman of the erstwhile IHF (Indian Hockey Federation) Umpires Board from 1985 to 1993 and chairman of its Technical Committee in 1985.
