JODHPUR, March 17 -- The Rajasthan high court on Monday dismissed a petition seeking the removal of D D Kumawat, alias Deendayal Kumawat, the convener of the ad-hoc executive committee of the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA), from his post. The court observed that the grounds on which the plea for his disqualification was based no longer exist, as the charges framed against him in a criminal case had already been quashed by the Jaipur bench of the high court. A single-judge bench of justice Kuldeep Mathur passed the order while hearing a petition filed by Devi Singh. The petitioner had urged the court to declare D D Kumawat ineligible for the post with effect from September 18, 2025, under Article 26 of the RCA Constitution, on the ground that a court in Sambhar Lake had framed charges against him under Sections 188 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code. The petition further contended that, following the framing of charges, Kumawat should be deemed ipso facto disqualified from his post and that all decisions taken by him thereafter should be declared null and void. The bench observed that since the very order framing the charges had been quashed, there remained no valid ground to remove Kumawat from his post under Article 26 of the RCA Constitution. The Court also clarified that the other allegations raised in the petition, pertaining to corruption and misuse of office, relate to separate matters. The Court noted that if the petitioner so desires, he is at liberty to initiate separate proceedings regarding these matters before an appropriate forum....
