He also informed that he has been appointed as an ‘observer’ by the Hyderabad High Court to assist the CoA of Hyderabad Cricket Association in the process of amending that association’s constitution. “I have been appointed as an Observer by the High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad to assist the Committee of Administrators of Hyderabad Cricket Association in the smooth conduct of the SGM to be convened by HCA to make amendments to their rules and regulations as per Lodha Committee recommendations,” he said. When contacted, Shetty confirmed that he had sent the email, and said he was yet to get a response from the MCA.
