Delhi High Court Declines to Order Jiu-Jitsu Player's Participation in Asian Games
The Delhi High Court dismissed a petition by athlete Shubham Kumar seeking to participate in the men's 94 kg Jiu-Jitsu event at the 20th Asian Games. The court upheld the Centre's decision not to send an Indian contingent in this category, noting the petitioner's nomination was submitted after the cutoff date. The judge stated that the court cannot compel participation when sporting authorities have objectively decided against it, especially as the Games had already commenced.
