The Delhi High Court on Monday refused immediate relief to wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who sought permission to compete in the May 30-31 Asian Games selection trials despite being declared ineligible by the Wrestling Federation of India. The court asked WFI and the Centre to file replies and directed the federation to conclude proceedings on its show cause notice by July 6.
New Delhi, May 18: The Delhi High Court on Monday refused to grant immediate relief to grappler Vinesh Phogat "without hearing the other side" after she sought a direction permitting her to compete in the selection trials on May 30-31 for this year's Asian Games despite being declared "ineligible" by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
The court, however, permitted her to give a "comprehensive reply" to WFI on the show cause notice issued to her over accusations of indiscipline and anti-doping rule violations.
Justice Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav directed the WFI to take the show cause notice to "its logical conclusion" by July 6 and place its decision before it.
The judge issued notice to the WFI and the Centre on Phogat's petition over her "ineligibility", and said a balance must be maintained between the "competing interests" in this case.
