Mumbai June 20
The elite Cricket Club of India (CCI) has been branded btten by a bug -male chauvinism and has been dragged to court. Ursula Thakkar, an executive director of Gujarat Petrosynthese and a Harvard Business School graduate, has filed a petition in Bombay HC, challenging the CCI’s decision to deny her membership.
Ursula, 40, has alleged discrimination on grounds of sex as in her petition, she has said that while unmarried daughters of existing CCI members were granted membership only if they were below 30, no such age bar was prescribed for sons of members.
She had applied to CCI for a life membership in October 2004. Her father RM Thakkar has been a member of the club since 1980. According to Ursula’s application, the CCI had issued a circular in December 2004, allowing under-30 unmarried daughters of existing members to secure dependent membership.
Ursula has alleged that she had been denied her right to membership in her capacity as a child of an existing member. She has urged the court to direct CCI to reconsider her case.
