New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday reserved its order on the petitions moved by wrestlers, Antim Panghal and Sujeet Kalkal, over the exemption given to wrestlers, Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, for direct entry into the Asian Games 2023 by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) ad-hoc.
The bench of Justice Subramonium Prasad on Friday said the court will pronounce tomorrow (Saturday) the judgement as the trials come to an end on Sunday.
While reserving the order the bench made clear that it will only see if the procedure has been followed or not. It will not deal with the issue of who is a better wrestler.
Woman wrestler Antim Panghal through a video communication on Wednesday has raised questions over the exemption given to wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat for direct entry into the Asian Games 2023 by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) ad-hoc panel.
"A fair trial should be conducted," she said.
Wrestlers Sujeet Kalkal also through a video communication stated that Bajrang Punia was allowed to participate in World Championship without any trial.
"I just want that every wrestler should get an equal opportunity," said Kalkal. (ANI)
