True copy tga KURIAN JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C). No. 6478 OF 2004 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of March, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are aggrieved since no separate quota is provided for selection of outstanding Sportsmen/women from the category of Wrestling despite inclusion of Wrestling as an item in Exhibit P32. Petitioners approached this Court when selection was being conducted during 2004. Now that the selection has already been completed, this writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider the grievance raised by the petitioners in this writ petition before the next selection is made. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp
