Dr Cheryl Misquitta resigned as Bandra Gymkhana president on Saturday night, hours before an Extraordinary General Meeting was to consider her removal. The club’s managing committee accepted her resignation at 9.10 pm and cancelled the Sunday EGM, apologising to members for the late change. Freepressjournal.in reports that Misquitta’s departure ends a bitter dispute over her September 2025 election. She alleged a sustained campaign of vote-tampering and file-manipulation accusations. An inquiry by retired judge Justice S.C. Gupte later cleared the election. The Bombay High Court reinstated her on July 23 after a March EGM removed her. Citing personal and emotional toll, she said she could no longer function effectively.
