Delhi HC asks WFI’s stand on Vinesh Phogat’s participation in World Championship trials
A bench of justice Swarana Kanta Sharma directed WFI’s counsel to seek instructions on the issue and listed the matter for Thursday
On September 9, the Delhi High Court requested the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to provide guidance on the eligibility of wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in the selection trials for the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships. The court also directed the counsel to address Phogat's request to postpone any final decision in the ongoing disciplinary proceedings against her.
Phogat has filed a fresh application seeking a fair policy for women athletes who return to competitive sports following pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum recovery. The court had previously listed the matter for hearing on November 18.
