The Rajasthan High Court has ordered that Shatrughna Tiwari, secretary of the Bharatpur District Cricket Association, cannot take major decisions, alter records or influence complainants and witnesses until the ongoing investigation is completed.
The Rajasthan High Court issued an interim order restricting the powers of Shatrughna Tiwari, the secretary of the Bharatpur District Cricket Association (BDCA). The court barred him from taking any important administrative decisions, tampering with official records, or attempting to influence complainants and witnesses while a probe into alleged irregularities is underway.
The order comes amid growing concerns over governance issues within the BDCA, with allegations that the secretary may have interfered with internal processes and attempted to sway testimonies. The court emphasized that such actions could compromise the integrity of the investigation and the association's functioning.
Until the investigative agency completes its inquiry, Tiwari will remain sidelined from any decision‑making authority. The ruling underscores the judiciary's willingness to intervene in sports administration when allegations of misconduct arise, aiming to ensure transparency and fairness in the sport's local governance.
The BDCA has not publicly commented on the court's directive, and the investigation's timeline has not been disclosed. Stakeholders in Rajasthan's cricket community are watching closely for further developments.
