Delhi HC refuses to allow Vinesh Phogat’s participation in selection trials for 2026 Senior World Championships

The court says allowing the wrester, who has returned to competitive sports after pregnancy, to participate in the trials without first adjudicating upon the selection policy, may result in unequal treatment of similarly situated athletes who are not before the court

Court said selection criteria apply equally to all athletes and allowing Phogat provisionally would create an exception in her favour
