A division bench of Acting Chief Justice A K Sikri and Justice Rajiv Sahai Endlaw also asked two other office bearers V K Verma and Lalit Bhanot, who have completed eight years in service, to respond on the issue while making it clear that if they continue to hold the office, show cause notices will be issued to them.
The court said that the President of IOA cannot hold the position for more than 12 years, but Kalmadi has been holding the post for around 18 years.
