Also, the PCI’s AGM in May and the SGM, on January 25 and February 25, were deemed invalid, contributing to the suspension.

“Bye-laws of PCI have been amended without bringing the same to the consideration of District Registrar of Societies, in violation of the Karnataka Societies Registration Act 1960 and Rules 1961,” said the Ministry.

“In view of foregoing, the Government is of the view that PCI has failed to follow the good governance practices as it has also violated the National Sports of Code India, 2011 and its own constitution in removing its elected president.

“The Governement hereby suspends the recognition of PCI with immediate effect till further orders. PCI is directed to comply with the Sports Code and ensure good governance practices in its internal functioning,” it added.

The PCI had also been suspended in 2015 over governance issues and re-recognised in 2016.
