New Delhi, May 14: The Delhi High Court issued a notice to the centre on an Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) petition challenging the IOA's decision to suspend it.

Justice Rekha Sharma asked the centre to file its response on the IHF petition by July 9 when the matter would be taken up for further hearing.

The Indian Olympic Association on April 28 had suspended the IHF and had appointed an ad-hoc committee in its place. The decision to suspend IHF was taken at an emergency meeting of the IOA Executive Committee following the sting operation which caught IHF secretary K Jothikumaran purportedly accepting bribe to select a player in the national team.

Federation, through its counsel D K Sharma, contended that the action taken against it was illegal and unauthorised as it was dissolved without being served a show cause notice to respond to the allegations.

Corruption in India...what's new? by Prabhakar on 15 May 2008

What has happened to our country! 50 years ago, most of the population was honest (from accounts of my grandfather). It appears that honesty, pride in self, work ethics and national pride is disappearing fast. Seems like anyone who can sell out is selling out for whatever they are worth. Our culture and morals have disappeared. India used to be a hockey superpower. Now... In USA, people at high level are dishonest and cheats like any other country but the everyday man is honest and hardworking and has pride in his work. That is why they produce gold medal winning atheletes. To reduce this corruption, we need to remove/reduce potential of corruption. Instead of a corrupt committee selecting players, we should introduce a point system based on published rules for tracking each player's performance over the year with points published openly. Players with highest points will automatically get selected. This will remove the capability of the babus to accept bribes as things will be in open.
