Appointment under Outstanding Sportsperson Quota Can Be Made Only When There Is ‘Direct Affiliation’ With Indian Olympic Association
Case: Nisha v. State of Rajasthan
Coram: Justice Arun Bhansali
Case No.: S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 2580/2022
Court Observation: “Admittedly, ShootingBall Federation of India is not affiliated to Indian Olympic Association and therefore, it can not be said that the respondents committed any fault in rejecting the candidature of the petitioner as a Outstanding Sports Person. The plea raised, that as the Association is affiliated with the Rajasthan State Olympic Association, which in turn is affiliated to the Indian Olympic Association and therefore, the condition is fulfilled, has been noticed for rejection only, as the stipulation requires direct affiliation and not via/through some other Olympic Association.”
