Former India captain Mohammad Azharuddin approached the Hyderabad High Court urging it to set aside the election conducted to the executive committee of the Hyderabad Cricket Association and also sought the clubbing of all the cases that challenged this election in order to have a comprehensive hearing on the whole issue. Justice A V Sesha Sai, who heard the plea, posted the case for a later date. Election to the HCA executive body was held on January 17 and, in tune with an earlier order of the high court, the results of the election have been kept in abeyance. Azhar's counsel Ramakanth Reddy told the court that one T Seshanarayana and few others approached a civil court in Ranga Reddy district with misleading contentions and obtained an order directing the HCA to hold elections.
