Supreme Court Defers Hearing on Equestrian Team Selection Petition After Judge Recusal
The Supreme Court hearing on a petition challenging the Delhi High Court's refusal to intervene in the non-selection of riders Anush Agarwalla and Sudipti Hajela for India's dressage team at the Asian Games was deferred after Justice KV Viswanathan recused himself. The case, involving gold medalists from the 2022 Asian Games, concerns the Equestrian Federation of India's selection process. The Delhi High Court had upheld earlier rulings, citing logistical challenges and exercising restraint to avoid impacting India's Asian Games prospects. The Supreme Court will now hear the matter on Friday before a different bench.
