New Delhi: The Sports Ministry has granted conditional recognition to the interim body of the Judo Federation of India (JFI), which was elected last month following a Delhi High Court order, warning that "irregularities" in compliance with judicial directions would lead to its suspension.
The JFI was governed by a court-appointed administrator since 2022, but in a ruling in February this year, the Delhi HC asked the body to conduct an Annual General Meeting and align itself with the provisions of the National Sports Governance Act that came into effect earlier this year.
