Ratnakar Shetty, who has held several positions in MCA and BCCI, has recently written an email to CoA where he asked any progress on the MCA draft constitution.

Shetty wrote in his email, “Dear Sirs, Just wanted to know if there is any progress on the draft constitution of the MCA following the informal meeting of the members convened by your good selves.

“While the Supreme Court is to hear the case on 5th July, there is no guarantee that the apex court will alter/amend the final order passed by the Supreme Court on 18th July, 2016.”

Shetty further added, “I have been appointed as an Observer by the Honourable High Court of Judicature at Hyderabad to assist the CoA of HCA in the smooth conduct of the SGM to be convened by HCA to make amendments to their rules and regulations as per Lodha Committee Recommendations approved by the SC in its final order. The HCA had applied for extension of the time given but the Honourable Court has ruled that the SGM must be called on or before 10th July, 2018. I have forwarded a copy of the order of 12th June 2018 for your perusal.”
