The new governing body stopped hiring club members as lawyers after it took charge in April 2022. But, records show, that did not bring down the club’s legal bill — from Rs 1.84 crore in 2021-22 to Rs 2.09 crore in 2022-23. From 2018-19 to 2022-23, records show, the club spent Rs 8.22 crore on litigation.
Noting that “legal costs have become a material cost incurred by the Club”, the 2022-23 auditor’s report repeatedly highlighted legal expenses as an area where verification was difficult because of incomplete records, unavailable legal files, and lack of information regarding the duration and status of litigation matters.
