The Executive Committee is also expected to discuss the recent High Court order on the election for IOA as well as Archery Association of India (AAI).

The simmering war of words between the IOC and the IOA intensified after the former slammed the Indian body for refusing to accept an observer for its upcoming elections and threatened to take action if poll date is not furnished by September 25.

IOA acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra had termed the world body's decision to send an observer as unacceptable.

But according to IOC, such supervision was necessary owing to the "confusion surrounding the status of Suresh Kalmadi".

Replying to Malhotra's missive, the world body, in its letter dated September 18, 2012, said: "The IOC and OCA are extremely astonished by the content of your letter and by the fact that you do not seem to understand that the internal situation of your NOC is not as smooth and normal as you want to depict it.

"Should we remind you that, despite our numerous and repeated requests, you and your NOC were unable to take any clear decision vis-a-vis situation of Mr Kalmadi with much confusion surrounding the status, powers and decisions of your NOC Ethics Commission in this affair." (MORE)
