Suspension of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has been Revoked: Centre Informed Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court dismissed WFI’s petition challenging an order requiring an ad-hoc committee to oversee its daily operations.

The Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry informed the court that WFI's suspension was lifted on March 10, 2025, in the interest of Indian sports and athletes.

The suspension was initially imposed due to governance lapses and election irregularities. WFI argued that the suspension and lack of an ad-hoc committee affected its participation in international competitions.

The ministry revoked the suspension after WFI implemented reforms, including an Athletes' Commission, Ethics Commission, and Internal Complaints Committee.

The court acknowledged these changes and allowed WFI to resume normal operations.
