The Delhi High Court has ordered the Wrestling Federation of India to decide within two weeks on the two show‑cause notices issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat on May 9 and June 17, and any decision taken after that period will be kept in abeyance until the next hearing on January 20, 2027. Justice Amit Mahajan said the uncertainty surrounding the disciplinary proceedings could affect the three‑time Olympian’s preparation and that a sportsperson must be in a fit and relaxed state of mind to compete.
Phogat’s counsel argued that she intends to compete in a national tournament scheduled for mid‑December and that the pending notices act as a “hanging sword” over her, creating apprehension about an adverse order before the competition.
