The Delhi High Court:  The Delhi High Court has directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to take a decision, within two weeks, on the show-cause notices issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat, observing that the uncertainty surrounding the disciplinary proceedings could affect the three-time Olympian’s preparations and performance in upcoming competitions.

A single-judge Bench of Justice Amit Mahajan, while hearing Phogat’s plea challenging the show-cause notices issued on May 9 and June 17, observed that a sportsperson needed to be in a fit and relaxed state of mind to participate in competitive events and directed the WFI to conclude the proceedings within the stipulated period.
