Courts can’t sit in appeal over decision taken by wrestling experts to give direct entry to top wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat for Asian Games, more so when there is a greater risk of injury being caused during trials, the Delhi high court said Saturday. Refusing to interfere with the exemption granted to top Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia from Asian Games trials, it dismissed the petition against the direct entry allowed to the duo to participate in the tournament.
