No Arbitrariness: Delhi High Court Dismisses Pleas By TT Players Swastika Ghosh & Manush Shah Challenging Their Exclusion From CWG 2022
Case: Swastika Ghosh V. Table Tennis Federation Of India And Ors.
Coram: Justice Dinesh Kumar Sharma
Case No.: W.P.(C) 9488/2022
Court Observation: “This court also finds complete absence of any arbitrariness or malafide in the decision arrived at by the Committee of Administrators,”
“To represent a nation and to participate, perform and excel in the arena of international sports, a player must not only possess physical but great mental and emotional strength and agility. It is thus pivotal that there should be no uncertainty in the minds of the players. Such litigations may disrupt and impact the preparation and performance of the players,”
“The power of judicial review in the matters relating to sports can be exercised only if there is an allegation of bad faith. In such matters, the courts should give great credence to the decision of the expert committee and the coaches. If the courts starts interfering in the decision of such committees it would have a drastic inhibiting effect on its functioning,”
