A DIVISION bench of the Delhi High Court on Thursday termed the situation of wrestling and its athletes as "unhappy" while hearing an appeal filed by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).

The appeal was filed challenging an order passed by a single bench of the Delhi High Court restoring an order dated 27.12.2023 wherein the ad-hoc committee appointed by the Indian Olympic Association was asked to discharge the functions of the federation.

"As far as the interest of the sports and athletes are concerned, there cannot be more unhappy a situation," noted the division bench comprising Delhi HC Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela.

As the WFI was suspended by the sports ministry on December 24, 2023, the single judge on August 16 last year restored the order to run the day-to-day affairs of the federation through the ad-hoc panel. However, the IOA had declined to do so because the WFI was recognised by United World Wrestling.
