Indian officials (IOA) and their counterparts at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) met in Lausanne, Switzerland on Tuesday. The meeting went all, with a resolution on the amendment of IOA's constitution expected in the coming days in a bid to hold the elections in December.

A source close to the development told PTI that it was a constructive and fruitful meeting.

The IOC called for a joint meeting earlier in September while sending a final warning to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to hold elections by December or face a ban.

Shooter Abhinav Bindra, India's first individual Olympic gold medallist, also attended the meeting and presented his views.

The Supreme Court had also appointed former apex court judge Justice L Nageswara Rao for amending the constitution of IOA and preparing the electoral college. A bench headed by Justice DY Chandrachud asked Justice Rao to prepare a roadmap for amending the constitution and to hold elections by December 15.
