A fresh dispute has broken out at the All India Tennis Association, with interim president Chintan Parikh accusing court-appointed administrator Justice (Retd.) Gita Mittal of financial exploitation and procedural bias. The allegations point to a deepening rift over how the Indian tennis body is being run during a sensitive administrative phase.
According to the claims raised by Parikh, the current arrangement is putting pressure on AITA’s finances and affecting the association’s functioning. His criticism suggests that decisions taken under the court-appointed setup are not only costly but also unfair in process, adding another layer of tension to an already troubled governance situation.
The controversy centers on accountability, finances and control within AITA. While the full details of the dispute are not available in the trimmed report, the confrontation highlights larger concerns about administrative oversight in sports bodies and how legal interventions can lead to conflict over decision-making and expenditure.
The latest escalation is likely to keep attention focused on AITA’s internal management and its financial health. With the interim president openly challenging the administrator’s role, the row may have wider implications for stability inside the federation and for the administration of Indian tennis.
