The CoA has taken the action against MCA as the amended Constitution submitted by the association “substantially deviates from the recommendations of the Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee as accepted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its judgment dated 18th July 2016 and is not compliant with the same”. The CoA has put all concerned in the MCA on notice, which spells trouble for hon secretary Riyaz Bagwan.

“It appears that the MCA and its officials have falsely claimed compliance with the Judgment, violated the undertaking contained in the affidavit filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and left no stone unturned to subvert and nullify the letter and spirit of the recommendations of the Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee,” said CoA. “Any person(s) involved in the conduct of or participating in the elections shall be held responsible for having wilfully acted in violation of the Judgment and consequent directions issued by the Hon’ble Justice Lodha Committee and the Committee of Administrators shall take such steps/ action as it considers appropriate in this regard including by bringing the same to the attention of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
