Senior bureaucrat Praveen Mahajan became the first woman president of the All India Tennis Association (AITA), replacing Anil Khanna?on Thursday.Mahajan, a former IRS officer, was appointed after the Executive Committee of AITA unanimously chose her for the post until the election is conducted.Mahajan was the first woman chief of the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), the apex policy-making body for indirect taxes, and is now posted in Jodhpur as an administrative member of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT).The Ministry had asked Khanna to quit, arguing that his election as president in 2012 was against the Sports Code that bars officials from re-election after serving two consecutive terms of four years. A cooling off period of four years is required before being eligible for the post again.After offering to quit, Khanna was re-elected AITA president recently for a four-year term till 2020, but refused to take it up until the issue was resolved. Eventually he decided to quit the position.AITA then held an Executive Committee meeting and as per its Constitution elevated Mahajan, one of the 10 vice presidents.AITA will hold a Special General Meeting by March 31, 2017 to allow the members to elect the president for the remaining period, ending in 2020.Apart from Mahajan, only two other Vice Presidents, including Chintan Parikh (from Gujarat) and Aneil Mahajan (from Madhya Pradesh), were eligible for the post of President as per the age and tenure conditions of the Sports Code.Mahajans standing is much better and much higher. Since she herself has worked with the government, she knows how to deal with the government and no one can say we have chose someone from inside, said Hironmoy Chatterjee, AITA Secretary General.
