Call on WFI fate by Monday, sports ministry tells Delhi HC
Hindustan Times Lucknow
|March 07, 2025
The Delhi high court on Thursday voiced concerns over a lack of a competent body within the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) that could be entrusted with the task of selecting a team to be sent to the Asian Wrestling Championship to be held from March 25 in Jordan.
NEW DELHI:
Taking note of Indian Olympic Association (IOA's) failure to restore the mandate of the ad hoc committee to manage WFI's affairs and continued suspension of the Sanjay Singh-led WFI by the union sports ministry, a bench of chief justice DK Upadhayay and justice Tushar Rao Gedela opined that the scenario presented an "unhappier situation" for the interest of athletes and sports.
"On account of non-restoration of the ad hoc committee and existence of suspension order as on today, there is no competent body which can be entrusted with the task of selection of a team to be sent to the international event.
