The long-awaited Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) elections will now be held on December 21, as per a notification issued by returning officer Justice (retd.) M.M. Kumar on Friday.
The WFI elections faced several roadblocks due to different state units moving courts. Acting on a Haryana faction’s petition over voting rights, the elections were last stayed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on August 11 – a day before the scheduled polling.
On November 28, the Supreme Court set aside the stay order paving the way for the elections of the WFI, which remains suspended by world governing body United World Wrestling for not conducting its polls on time.
