Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday sought the Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) stand on a plea filed by wrestler Vinesh Phogat challenging show-cause notices and disciplinary proceedings initiated against her, while also issuing notice on her separate plea seeking a fair and transparent framework for women athletes returning to competitive sport after pregnancy and maternity leave.
A single-judge Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, hearing Phogat's plea against the disciplinary proceedings, did not issue a formal notice but asked the WFI to obtain instructions and listed the matter for further hearing on September 29.
