NEW DELHI: In its bid to bring the cricket board (BCCI) under the umbrella of the national sports federations (NSFs) and ensure transparency in the functioning of all sports bodies, the sports ministry on Tuesday would be seeking the Cabinet's nod for the introduction of the National Sports (Development) Bill 2011 in the current session of the Parliament.
The Bill, which was prepared after receiving comments and suggestions from various stakeholders and the public, seeks to have BCCI as an NSF and wants it to function as a "public authority" and "comply with the requirements specified in the Right to Information Act".
If BCCI becomes an NSF, it would be bound to provide information under the RTI and would also be forced to follow the anti-doping rules as specified by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
These proposals of the Bill have been vehemently opposed by the BCCI and some sports bodies, including the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), which want to continue functioning in an autonomous manner, free from public scrutiny and accountability.
The Bill, aimed at creating and enabling legal framework for healthy development of sports, also calls for more transparency in the system by suggesting measures for the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) as well as the NSFs on several matters, including finance. According to the Bill, the IOA will have to submit a detailed report to the Centre every year which would be laid before both houses of the Parliament.
The report would include audited financial statements as well as measures taken to promote athletes' welfare, to fight against doping, to promote sports for all and for effective, expeditious and time-bound redressal of grievances mechanism.
According to it, every office bearer of NSFs and the IOA shall retire on attaining the age of seventy years. The president of these bodies will not be eligible to re-contest for the similar post on completion of 12 years or three terms in office of four years each, with or without break. The other office-bearers cannot continue for more than two consecutive terms, but can be eligible for reelection after a cooling-off period of four years.
The Bill also calls for the appointment of an Ombudsman to mediate or conciliate disputes concerning athletes as well as complaints or disputes in the functioning and management of the IOA or any NSF. It also calls for establishment of a sports dispute and appellate sports tribunal to adjudicate any dispute amongst office-bearers or members of the IOA, between IOA and NSFs, between NSFs and so on.
Once formed, the proposal says, all civil cases in which the NSFs or the IOA are a party and pending for adjudication of dispute before any court or authority (other than High Court and Supreme Court) would be transferred to the tribunal, whose chairman and members would be selected by a committee headed by the Chief Justice of India or his nominee. The selection committee will have the cabinet secretary and secretaries of three ministries as its members. Similar cases pending in High Court could be transferred to the tribunal with the leave of a High Court.
