Srinagar, June 10: The J&K Football Association (JKFA) today said that the voter list submitted for the election of its office bearers was not found as per the constitution of JKFA, prompting it to cancel the election.
Earlier, the necessary directions for the conduct of elections of JKFA office bearers were issued by a court here, following which the necessary formalities were carried out and the election was slated to be held on June 12.
“In compliance to the directions of Court of 4th Additional District Judge Srinagar, passed in file No. 66 of 21-12-2020, in the civil suit title, as Nazir Ahmad Andrabi v/s J&K Football Association…dated 28-3-2022, election notice dated 18-5-2022 was published in daily newspapers inviting objections to the voter list submitted by Jammu and Kashmir Football Association,” Returning Officer, JKFA said.
In response to the election notice, JKFA said, several objections were received challenging the legality, authenticity, and validity of the voter list by various Football clubs, District Football Associations and former office bearers of J&K Football Association.
“On scrutiny of the objections, the voter list submitted and published in the election notice dated 18-5-2022 was not found consistent with the relevant provisions of the constitution of J&K Football Association.”

“The matter shall be submitted before the High Court of J&K for appropriate orders as may be deemed fit,” JKFA said.
