NEW DELHI: After it was informed by the Centre that the suspension of the wrestling federation was revoked by the sports ministry, the Delhi High Court on Tuesday said that petitioner wrestlers Bajrang Punia, Vinesh Phogat, Sakshee Malik, among others, are free to challenge the decision.
"Needless to state, it will be open to any party, if aggrieved by the order dated March 10 passed by the ministry, to challenge the same before the appropriate court," it said.
A bench of Chief Justice D K Upadhyaya and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela closed the proceedings on WFI's appeal against the order restoring the IOA's adhoc panel to run its affairs.
Senior advocate Rahul Mehra, appearing for wrestlers, expressed "shock" over the "treatment" meted out to players and objected to WFI's claim that due to its non-recognition, the players didn't make it to about six events previously.
