NEW DELHI: Bringing to fore the worrying affairs of kabaddi’s administration in India, the women’s team on Monday requested the Supreme Court to direct the 'Amateur Kabaddi Federation of India (AKFI)', which lost affiliation to the international body, to take steps to send them to 'Senior Kabaddi Championship' scheduled in Iran from February 20-25.
Appearing for two national kabaddi players, Priyanka and Pooja, senior advocate K Parameshwar told a bench of Justices Surya Kant and NK Singh that the women’s team is a strong contender for the gold medal at the event, but their participation is in doubt as the AKFI’s affiliation has not been restored with International Kabaddi Federation (IKF).
