HC quashes complaint against Chamundi

Hyderabad, April 30: Justice Tamada Gopalakrishna of the AP High Court on Thursday quashed a complaint against Chamundeshwarinath, a former functionary of the Andhra Cricket Association. The petitioner questioned the lodging of a criminal complaint against him charging him of forgery and manipulating the bylaws of the Andhra Cricket Association.

According to the complainant, the accused petitioner had effected certain changes disempowering the president of the association and making the secretary the sole representative of the Association at the BCCI . In his petition before the High Court, the petitioner contended that the allegations were baseless, that they were a part of a scheme to harass him and the official records as with the Registrar of Societies were clearly established that the acts alleged were not true and correct.

Plea seeking quo warranto against CM adjourned
