It should be noted that a few hours after the announcement of the results of the December elections, the ministry suspended the work of the newly elected body of the WFI. After the Supreme Court ordered elections to be held on December 21, the ministry immediately suspended the WFI and demanded that the Indian Olympic Association set up an ad hoc committee to oversee sports in India.

The three-member ad hoc committee headed by the IOA is expected to be disbanded soon, leaving Sanjay Singh's panel to take control of the WFI operations.
