The Delhi High Court has directed the central government to form an expert panel to assess Vinesh Phogat's eligibility for domestic events following a Wrestling Federation of India decision to bar her participation. Supported records show Phogat retired after the 2024 Paris Olympics, gave birth in July, reversed retirement in December 2025, and faced a May 9 show-cause notice citing weight-category participation, whereabouts failures, and a six-month retirement notice requirement. The court criticized the federation's ineligibility ruling while unverified details include bench composition and upcoming Asian Games selection trial dates.
