Vice President Ram Pratap Singh: In a major setback for All India Chess Federation (AICF) President Sanjay Kapoor, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday ordered for the inclusion of Delhi Chess Association’s representatives in the chess body’s electoral college.

Meanwhile, questions are being raised as to the capacity in which Kapoor is issuing the electoral college, since as per the AICF bylaws, office-bearers demit office on the expiry of their term, irrespective of whether elections are held.

“The Delhi High Court has ordered AICF to add Delhi Chess Association’s representatives to the electoral college of AICF. Now, representatives of Delhi Chess Association can vote in the AICF elections,” Bharat Singh Chauhan, President, Delhi Chess Association (DCA), told IANS.
