VFI AGM to be held on on April 15 in Dehradun

The Volleyball Federation of India (VFI) today announced that the Annual General Meeting of the body will be held on April 15 at Hotel Inderlok in Dehradun.
The decision was made in the Emergent Executive Committee meeting of the VFI held in Nagpur yesterday.
VFI President Chaudhary Avadhesh Kumar also announced that all roadblocks created by the rival faction headed by secretary Ramavtar Jakhar has been cleared by the Patiala House Court and Chennai High Court judgments dated March.
The Patiala House court has recognised the Emergent Executive Committee, to be presided over by the President, as official while the Chennai High Court has refused to give stay on the meeting to be held at Nagpur as pleaded by Secretary in Chennai High court on the February 26.

Commenting on these developments Chaudhary Avadhesh Kumar said, "It's hard to believe that people have overlooked court orders and called a meeting in Chennai, when we were authorised to hold a meeting under my chairmanship at Nagpur, by Patiala House Court."
The newly-elected interim Secretary of VFI K Nandkumar said, "The claim by Ramavtar-led faction that there were 22 state unit affiliates present for the illegal meeting was untrue. The Emergent Executive Committee meeting in Nagpur saw 14 state units turning up and 4 to 5 units deciding to skip both the meetings. So in no circumstances the Chennai meeting had more than handful members available. I would like to add that most of these members are already suspended for three years."

The suspended units will be replaced by the new state office bearers and this decision will be taken at the AGM. Also, the president has declared the March 11 meeting called by Ramavtar in Chennai as illegal, since neither the President nor the one-third members of the VFI units have requested to call for it.
