The two questions asked by a number of state associations are: 1) Are individuals who have cumulatively completed nine years as Office Bearers of a State Association disqualified from again becoming office&nbsp;2) Is the nine-year disqualification period to be reckoned only commencing from the date of the judgment (18.07.2016) or does it include tenures as office bearers prior to that date?
The committee in their clarification pointed out: 1) Any individual who has cumulatively completed a period of nine years as an Office Bearer of a State Association stands&nbsp;disqualified from contesting elections or holding a post in the Association.
2) This will apply to any person as of the date of the election, and will include periods prior to the date of the judgment (18.07.2016).
&ldquo;So that there is no doubt, if any individual has completed nine years as an office bearer (whether through consecutive or separate terms; whether in one post or another) of the State Association by or before 18.07.2016, that individual stands disqualified,&rdquo; it stated.&nbsp;
