Case: VIJAY KUMAR PANDEY AND ANR. v. UNION OF INDIA AND ORS.

Coram: Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjeev Narula

Case No.: W.P.(C) 4452/2019

Court Observation: “The athletes representing India finished their campaign with 200 medals (77 gold, 71 silver and 52 bronze). While the respect and appreciation accorded to Olympic medallists is abundant and deservedly so, the accomplishments of athletes with intellectual disabilities and the efforts of bodies like SOB that dedicatedly work towards their goals are sadly, often forgotten,”.

“In light of these positive developments that have taken place during the pendency of these proceedings, this Court is of the opinion that the issues raised by the Petitioner in the present PIL have been substantively resolved by SOB,”
