All India Chess Federation: A glaring difference in the fees to be paid to the two Returning Officers -- both retired high court judges -- appointed for conducting the office-bearers' elections for the All India Chess Federation (AICF) is being raised by the chess administrators.

While one Returning Officer was appointed by the Delhi High Court, the other was appointed by AICF President Sanjay Kapoor.

The Delhi High Court, by an order dated 6.12.2023, had appointed Justice (Retd) G.S. Sistani as the second Returning Officer and fixed a fee of Rs 5,00,000. The court had also ordered that the AICF elections should be held in Delhi, and not in Kanpur where Kapoor lives.
