Delhi HC Declines Immediate Relief To Vinesh Phogat Over World Wrestling Championship Trials

By IANS News September 11, 2026 • 12:26 PM View: 162

Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya: The Delhi High Court has declined to grant immediate relief to three-time Olympian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who had sought permission to participate in the selection trials for the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships scheduled to be held in Kazakhstan.

A single-judge Bench of Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Thursday refused to grant an interim exemption to Phogat from the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) for the selection trials, observing that the criteria applied uniformly to all athletes and could not be relaxed in favour of the petitioner alone at this stage.
