The Delhi HC on Wednesday ruled that for continued recognition annual monitoring of compliance is contemplated under the sports code.
The bench of Justices Najmi Waziri and Vikas Mahajan stated that there was no clarity or conformation as to which National Sports Federation fully complied with the Sports Code.
In this case, it was the case of the petitioner that despite more than a decade has gone by, many NSFs continue to breach the Sports Code and its strict mandates, while simultaneously they continue to enjoy governmental grants, concessions and recognition.
High Court opined that after all the NSFs are for the benefit of promotion of the sports and for the welfare of sportspersons. The Sports Code stipulates that there should be a minimum representation of 25% of eminent sportspersons in the decision-making process.
High Court stated that “If the NSFs have so ensured and complied with the Sports Code, then such compliance should be placed on record. For continued recognition annual monitoring of compliance is contemplated under the Sports Code. At least one NSF should be shown to be compliant on all parameters for it to continue to receive government patronage, largesse and funds.”
