By IANS News May 29, 2026 • 14:54 PM View: 68

Chief Justice Devendra Kumar Upadhyaya: The Supreme Court on Friday declined to halt the Delhi High Court’s order permitting wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in the Asian Games 2026 selection trials, while agreeing to examine the plea filed by the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) challenging the relief granted to the three-time Olympian.

A bench of Justices PS Narasimha and Alok Aradhe, which issued a notice on the WFI’s Special Leave Petition (SLP), permitted Phogat to take part in the trials scheduled for May 30 and 31.
