The Supreme Court of India has issued notices to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and various state sports bodies, seeking their response on a petition challenging provisions of the National Sports Governance Act.The bench, comprising Chief Justice and two other judges, was hearing a public interest litigation that seeks better regulation and transparency in Indian sports administration, particularly in the wake of allegations of mismanagement and financial irregularities in several sporting federations.The petitioner argued that the National Sports Governance Act needs stricter enforcement mechanisms to ensure accountability among sports federations, including BCCI, which has historically operated with a degree of autonomy outside government oversight.The court has asked the respondents to file their reply within four weeks, after which the matter will be taken up for further hearing. Legal experts say this case could have significant implications for the future governance of sports bodies in India.
