State government-run Sports Authority of Goa (SAG) has asked Goa Cricket Association (GCA) president Vinod Phadke to be present before it on October 9 in connection with a de-recognition notice issued against GCA.
“It is felt appropriate to hear you in person or depute your authorised representative for the hearing, failing which it will be presumed that you have nothing to say in the matter and the competent authority shall be contained to proceed against the GCA in accordance with the law,” SAG Executive Director Sandip Jacques said in the notice issued to the cricketing body yesterday, a copy of which is with PTI.
SAG had issued show cause notice to the GCA on August 28 this year pointing out that the cricketing body had been violating the recommendations of Justice Pendse Commission, probing the infamous 2001 India-Australia match ticket scam. The GCA president had responded to the notice on September 25 terming it as unwarranted without jurisdiction and which “discloses non-application of mind.”
The SAG has now said that the GCA can take time till October 7 to file any further response to the notice, before the in-person hearing on October 9.
