HC fines state ₹2L for snubbing para champ
The New Indian Express Bengaluru
|July 22, 2025
THE Karnataka High Court said the state should have honoured, not hindered, the spirit of Vishwas K S, who achieved success in international paraswimming without arms.
The court also imposed a Rs 2 lakh fine on State Government to be paid by Sports and Youth Empowerment Department officials from their pocket, for denying the champion's rights.
"When a man without arms dives into pools and emerges not just victorious, but triumphant on the international stage, the state is expected to salute that spirit, not stifle his rights by red-tapism," said the High Court.
