Sports Ministry, IOA Set to Challenge Delhi HC Order on Grant of Recognition to NSFs in Supreme Court

News 18  

The Sports Ministry and the Indian Olympic Association on Tuesday said they have decided to approach the Supreme Court to challenge a Delhi High Court order which prohibits the ministry from taking any decision on grant of recognition to national federations. The matter pertains to a petition filed in 2010 by advocate Rahul Mehra seeking directions to the Centre to ensure that the IOA and the National Sports Federations perform their duties well. We are challenging the Delhi HC order not to take any decision relating to sports federations without informing it,” a sports ministry source told PTI. On August 7, the ministry had requested the HC to modify the order and allow at least the grant of recognition to the NSFs but the court rejected that plea and asked for a National Sports Code compliance report.
