The Delhi High Court had suspended TTFI in February and appointed a Committee of Administrators (CoA) to take over its functioning. The judgement came after woman’s India No 1 Manika Batra petitioned the court alleging match-fixing against the national coach during Tokyo Olympics qualifiers. She contended that the then national coach Soumyadeep Roy had asked her to concede a match against compatriot Sutirtha Mukherjee—she was also his academy trainee. The court appointed a three-member committee to look into the allegations. Dushyant Chautala was the previous TTFI president. The Delhi High Court had barred members of the suspended executive board from taking part in the elections.

Important takeaways for all competitive exams: 

  • Table Tennis Federation of India Founded: 1926;
  • Table Tennis Federation of India Headquarters location: New Delhi.
