C.W.P. No.16572 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No.16572 of 2011 Date of Decision.06.09.2011 Amrit Pal Singh son of Sh. Gurdev Singh, resident of village Dharowali, Post Office Shikhar Machhian, Tehsil Dera Baba Nanak, District Gurdaspur .....Petitioner Versus Union of India through its Secretary, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Department of Sports, New Delhi and others .....Respondents Present: Mr. R.S. Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioner. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The petitioner's grievance is that he was selected to participate in Inter-District Punjab School Games in Kabaddi to be held from 09.09.2011 to 13.09.2011 but now his candidature goes out of reckoning in view of a new parameter set for the categorization, which is not merely based on age but weight of the participant, as well as relevant. This, according to the petitioner, is an additional consideration brought about for the first time after the selection was done and it is not untenable. He would also contend that the expert body has also adversely commented on weight as consideration for various categories of participants and their representations given through experts' views sent on 06.06.2011 have not yet been considered by the School Games Federation of India. There ought to be sufficient C.W.P. No.16572 of 2011 -2- play along the joints for specialized body to decide on what is appropriate for the respective games. If a Games Federation of India decides that weight shall also be relevant consideration for setting out various categories of participants, I will not allow any judicial intervention to prevail, for they know best as to what is relevant. 2. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE September 06, 2011 Pankaj*
