Supreme Court allows Rajasthan election but bars result announcement

The Supreme Court permitted the Rajasthan Cricket Association election to proceed on September 29 but directed that results must not be declared. Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana issued the order after a former women's cricketer filed a petition noting that the voter roll contained no female voters and no woman candidate.

The court asked the Rajasthan High Court to decide the pending plea on the election and noted that an administrator appointed in July remains in charge of all district associations. The petition had sought a stay on the entire process.

The bench also asked the BCCI and state associations why they should not fall under the National Sports Governance Act 2025 for service conditions of office bearers.
