Petitioner to show cause as to why its membership in good standing with Respondent No.1 ought not to be suspended, by the impugned letter/order the said membership of the Petitioner is terminated.

¶22

(A) Respondent No.1 being the Maharashtra State Table Tennis Association withdraws the show cause notice dated 28^th June, 2023 being Exhibit-G to the Petition issued by it to the Petitioner namely, the Suburban Table Tennis Association.

¶23

(B) Respondent No.1 withdraws the termination letter dated 19^th November, 2023 being Exhibit-I to the Petition issued by it to the Petitioner.

¶24

(C) Respondent No.1 may issue a fresh show cause notice to the Petitioner citing such grounds as may be available to Respondent No.1.
