Delhi HC Closes Vinesh Phogat's Plea As Infructuous, Directs WFI To Conclude Disciplinary Proceedings

By IANS News July 06, 2026 • 18:18 PM View: 129

Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya: The Delhi High Court on Monday directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to take a decision within two weeks on the show-cause notice issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat, while closing as infructuous her petition challenging exclusion from the Asian Games 2026 selection trials.

A single-judge Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma observed that the writ petition had become infructuous since Phogat had already been permitted to participate in the selection trials pursuant to earlier judicial orders.
