New Delhi, May 22 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Thursday
issued notice to the central government and the Central Reserve Police Force
(CRPF) on a plea filed by the bodybuilding team of the paramilitary force
against the decision to disband them.
Justice Reva Khetrapal and Justice Pratibha Rani sought
response from the home ministry and the CRPF and posted the matter for Sep 23.
On May 16, the CRPF disbanded its bodybuilding team saying
that the sport did not come under 'All India Sport' category.
The aggrieved bodybuilders, many of whom are reigning and
former national and international medal holders, moved the high court for
direction to allow them to participate in various bodybuilding competitions as
part of the CRPF team.
The players have contended that they were selected in the
CRPF under the sport quota, which meant they were only to participate in
bodybuilding championships, the plea said.
The CRPF notification disbanded its body building and rugby
team and dispatched all the players of the two sports to their respective units
to perform normal duties.
The players, however, contended that it was factually
incorrect as bodybuilding was duly recognized by the sports ministry, the
Sports Authority of India and the Indian Olympic Association.
